Everyone is entitled to an opinion but your constant banging on about it and and seemingly religious attempts to force your opinions on others regurgitating stuff you have read about comes across like you are a recruiting for a cult than somebody just offering advice based on their own experiences...
You also don't appear to take into account the subjectiveness of the situation... people all drive differently... they want different things out of aspects of driving... just because pads that exceed Reg90 tend to incite ABS more than Reg90 pads do doesn't mean its a bad thing... this is no different to the pointless discussion over turbo lag on big turbo conversions... learn to drive!... simples
Your experiences lead you down a path where you found Redstuff to be your preference... thank you for sharing your opinion and your experience...
Unless you are willing to fit larger brake setups to compensate for lack of overall braking efficiency as you increase the performance of your car (as OE's tend to do) then the only thing left is to improve the performance of the parts you have to give you the confidence in your ability to brake based on how you drive... this generally means looking at areas that 'exceed' the normal rules OE's follow...
Lets face it its no different to tuning... you want 400hp... you either take a 1.8 4 pot and fit a bigger turbo (and all the extras needed to make it work) or you get something with a V8 in it that will breeze 400 easily...
(opinion alert!)
Having used various road, fast road and race pads over the years I found that using ECP sourced Pagid road pads great for when I was running my engine in and plodding about at normo levels of driving... and by this I mean still traveling at speed but braking a mile before the corner etc...
Once the boost was turned up I found the 'R90' pads didn't give me the confidence I needed to brake later into corners which is more my 'normal' driving style... bare in mind I am still not driving 'fast' but as my car is modified I can go round corners at road legal speeds where others normally slow right down..
I have used DS2500's and while they would work they didn't give me the confidence I wanted to suit my driving style...
Looking at the specs (you are not the only one) the choice was between larger rotors and 6 pots, or my current setup with DS1.11's or DS3000's...
Specs are on Ferodo's website for all to see but what swayed my choice to DS1.11's was the graph below...
I won't bang on about it though as you can come to your own conclusions but if it wasn't for the crappy fallout issue I'd be running DS1.11's all day long... they work for 'me'...
The Mintex M1155's I am currently using appear to be ok but don't fill me with the confidence I had with the DS1.11's... if I can find a solution to make the fallout more manageable then I will happily go back to DS1.11's...
