Ferodo Racing also makes good race pads for 300-series, I bought the "milder race" version with the DS2500 compound which is streetable. There are higher spec compounds also available but some of those won't work well with street use temperatures.

Those brake discs look pretty good for the money, i've got Black Diamond ones but they were £20 or so more than those and they are only grooved not dimpled. They work a treat though, i'd recomend them along with their pads. :D
