as above, cant go wrong with them but they are quite pricey. OMPs version of a trackday pad is less money and supposedly decent enough so thats what I'll fit next.
Wouldnt bother with the rears, normal ones will do.

Yeah the rear ones will be left as they are. Ive used ds2500's before and rated them on the clio. Just wondered what you guys use, mintex, ferodo, ebc etc.

From customer feedback the OMP ones wear out quickly compared to the Ferodo DS2500

Currently got mintex M1144's in my road rally car, seem to be a good all round pad. Will be going to ds3000's when they're worn out though which are not advisable on a daily.

You are very right, I did a search and didn't read properly.
Sorry about that. May be worth giving them a call though to see if they can get them in for you.

What size brakes do you have? As the pad prices will vary slightly with size

M1144's is over kill on a mostly daily used car. Plus, you only get the benefits of that pad from heavy braking, which you get on track, not going to the shops

standard Citroen pads for the road, and a cheeky set of M1144's in your toolbox for trackdays, that's what I did, it's SO easy to change pads why wouldn't you.
compromise pads are just stupidly annoying, I murder 'road' pads on track, and I hate track pads on the road, so just never happy.
2 sets of pads is the easy answer

They may well be, but he's after a compromise. They are still a pretty mild pad in comparison to others. I do quite a few road miles in mine aswell, and can honestly say I find them no worse from cold than the brakes on my fiesta mk6 road car.
