I agree with Mike with re: to the Ferodo DS2500's.

They are noisy but grab like a whore on dollar day and will make me
carsick before I notice any fade.  This with fresh Super Blue,
stainless lines, pressure bled several times, on 928GTS calipers and
the OEM 323 Brembo rotors.

Pedal feel is sublime IMO.
