Where to buy brake pads (online)?

Not sure I need any right away, but where's a good place for brake pads, either Ferodo DS2500 or EBC Yellowstuff?

Any traders on here do?

S2GTR does them I'm sure Motabitz Accessories - Skyline Owners Club - The Nissan Skyline Enthusiast Community

2500's will wear your discs out faster than the pads, go for the EBC

I went for EBCs through S2GTR as well - great service.

I had a nightmare with DS2500s on my GTT mate - they squealed so badly, I actually threw them away after about 2,000 miles....

Cheers all - awaiting price.

Have 2500s at moment and have had no squeals, but fitting new discs so will give the yellowstuffs a go.

I'll also recommend S2 GTR. Great service and a good price.

I have DS2500's in the fronts and EBC reds in the back. The Ferrodos are some of the best pads I've ever had and they've not squeaked once. Standard disks I might add.
However the reds on the rears squeak a tiny bit under light pressure going forwards and squeak like a bitch in reverse! Taxi brakes FTW!!

The prices on the website include discount - got an answer swiftly this morning.

I'm going to keep the 2500's on though. Andy W's now switched my brakes over and there was no scarring of the standard disks and look to have worn well. Plus I've never had squeaking.

So will keep these on a little longer. Maybe try ebc yellow next time.
