Rotors and brake pads

Hi all

Discovered the source of the rattling sound, it was the rear brake pads.

So looking at new pads for DD / occasional hills use. Recommendations? QFM? Hawk?

Also need new rotors. Are the 'Standard Replacement Disc Rotors' from MX5 Mania good, or should I be looking at something else?

Thanks

OEM rotors no issues, A1RM's good choice of pads or a Winmax Pad.

The above Winmax chart shows

W5 temp range lower than W2 & W3 :?: Printing error :?:

Answered my own query - elsewhere on Motorsport Brakes website shows 750C for W5, not 450C as on chart

Thought so, I use W6.5's on the front and W3's on the rear.
