im using kemtech metals on the front and standard pads on the rear as they dont ever over heat
iv been to wakefield twice and never had a problem and done 40,000ks aswell no problems and not rough on the discs either
by the way i drive an auto and its a little harder on brakes than a manual
the only problem iv had was boiling brake fluid so i changed it to motul high temp fluid and i havent had any fade since
