Malcolm uses EBC Low dust pads. They are available in different flavours but the recommended ones for road use are "Green Stuff" and "Red Stuff".

I have used both in the past and they are excellent..
The Red Stuff are a more extreme ceramic based version (Probably better for a heavier car such as the 221).

Here are your cars details for the Red Stuff fitment..

The Red stuff I had were on a Golf GT Tdi and they were incredible when you used them like you meant it.. Its the nearest thing to a "Stoppy" in a car I have experienced..

Thanks, Simon. I thought the low-dust were the GreenStuff (which they don't do for the 221). Do the RedStuff make noticeably less dust than "Mercedes" pads ?

I don't have any problems stopping the car -- it's just the bl66dy dust on the fronts :(
