I've used the OEMs and the cheap kevlar types on ebay and get approximately the same mileage and performance from either. Your choice and your money.

Lyndall are probably as good as BRAKE pad as you can get. You will find they are easy to BREAK in.

OEM pads for the last 75k miles. Change them out and clean calipers around 25K. Lots of folks like the L pads. All I can say is stay away from EBC pads.

Lyndall gold + pads Amazon or Eastern Proformace are usually the cheapest places to buy them.
