And they'll fit the V6 set up

fair enuff. tbh im not going to be doing track days. I would just like a decent fast road pad thats not going to wear tooo quickly. would the 1155's still be better?
Best place to get them can seem to find anyone who sells them when i google it

Mintex 1144
Ferrodo ds2500
EBC redstuff

mintex extremes are the new brand from mintex, will eventually replace the 1144's but are currently well priced and seem to be good pads.

I have used all of the above, just ahd a customer back from the nurburgring that used the extremes, he thinks they were great on his escort.
