So quick update..... I did a full pad and disc swap this weekend, and can say the BlueStuff NDX from EBC destroyed the Brembo disc's. The faces were like hills and valleys, so no wonder I was having problems, they sounded like crap and I just didn't trust them to stop the car anymore. I've put on a new set of Brembo disc's and a full set of PFC Z rated pads, and even now the pedal feel is way better, much smoother. I'll have to give them a few hundred miles to bed in with easy braking, then take them through a full heat cycles.
Moral of this thread.... stay away from brake pads which sound too good to be true.
