Red stuff or yellow stuff may be suitable. Bigger brake discs are the best option though.

If you need any of the above then the clubs recommended supplier should be able to help you out.

Stick some vented Turbo brakes on there.

I just happen to have a set available for a small sum of money. :D

Always thought the brakes on my turbo were rubbish. I guess that's why. Suppose they were perfectly good for a 1.4 and 1.6 but not the turbo. They even struggle on my vvc.

The brakes on my old SEi were solids, not vented. :S (I think, it was a long time ago)

I'd suggest Mintex 1144 pads. Not the cheapest, but they certainly do the job.

I think you'll be in the minority there. The halfords pads are fine though.
