Any brake pad suggestions for Cupra

I changed my brake fluid to Motul R660 from Opie Oils and I have tried the Ferrodo DS2500 which do not fit and rattle around in the callipers, Mintex do some vibration shims that would help with this but not sure how long they would last also tried the Brembo Sport Racing pads which lasted about five minutes and destroyed my callipers trough major overheating. I'm Currently running OEM pads from Dave at Sere (40% off so £75 with delivery) for the time being until I get some 6 pots on as the oem callipers are crap. My advice save the penny and get a decent setup.
Thanks for the reply! I think I'll take a look into the OEM's for now, look a good price really 
What did you think of the Motul fluid, any difference?

Sorry should of said only just put that in but so far so good its certainly got the specification over the oem fluid "Motul RBF660 race brake fluid is suitable for all types of hydraulic actuated-brake and clutch systems requiring a high quality, dot4 non-silicone synthetic fluid. Specially designed to resist to high temperature of racing actuated-brake (steel or carbon) and clutch systems, this quality brake fluid is particularly suitable for the demands of racing and for those requiring a very high performance brake fluid. RBF660 also exceeds the DOT 5.1 and DOT 3 brake fluid standards, except for viscosity at - 40°C (-40°F). RBF 660 is a 100% synthetic brake fluid from polyglycol bases."
Hi Mate if you go to the main page on here and scroll down to SEAT UK Dealer Network Section and he's the bottom one Sere Motors - NI just pop a post in to this thread Brake disc & pad promotion - 40% off, and he will reply with a price. For the brake fluid go to Opie oils and setup an account we get 10% as Cupra.net users and the link is http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1078-motul-rbf-660-factory-line-race-brake-fluid.aspx.
Doesnt really matter who makes the OEM pads as the compound will be set by Seat and contracted out to a supplier. That same supplier will most likely also sell to aftermarket but not with the same compound. So if you want OEM compound you need to buy OEM. Of course different compounds can be had for increased friction etc. but if you want OEM feel you need to buy OEM.
