what the general concensus on recommended brake discs and pads?
seems to be brembo discs (any model/type) and mintex pads?
for road use only, well heavy road use because i like to floor it.
also whats best (easiest) for colouring calipers? get covers and stick them on or take paint them? bearing in mind i dont have stands to leave everything off the car to dry.

Ferodo pads are the best.....I used Green stuff, but they are dusty.
Green discs are good for the price you are paying!.
