If your driving normally, with the ocasional slip of the right foot, standards are fine! Green stuffs are fantastic all round pads.
Hope this helps

Disagree and I am sure other people will agree, they are the worst break pads I have used. I would even deam them as dangerous..
Ran them in my 4 pot's and they were poop. Pay for what you get with break pads imo.

I wouldn't say they are a good pad IMO , on my 266mm conversion they are awful at low temperatures, but when 'spritied' driving they do seem to get better.
I have just gone for standard tarox pads for my 6pots when I put them on.

Great value for a road car with moderate power you cant go wrong with Ferodo DS pads.

100% agree, i think they are dangerous and i wouldnt recommened them to anyone with a saxo (please note this is in my opinion). this is because the compound of the pad is hard unlike mintex which are abit softer.
if your wanting to spend the cash i'd recommened Mintex 1144's
