Brake pads for Brembo calipers

My Hawk Sti has performance friction 2 piece disc's on the front which were on when I bought the car, not sure what make pads it has on, but I've never been all that impressed with the brakes even compared to the standard wrx brakes that were on my silver bugeye I had before, I am looking at changing the pads to see if this makes any difference as I've been told that the brakes should be really good with the 2 piece front discs o am running, been looking at either the performance friction z-carbon front pads or the EBC Blue NDX front pads has anybody on here used either of these pads to comment on them, also will it be worth changing the brake fluid at the same time to try and get the braking performance to what it should be, if so what brake fluid do people recommend.

Thanks

Or any other pads people would recommend for the performance friction front 2 piece discs

Wouldn't bother with the expensive pads that take ages to warm up for normal driving, before spending a fortune drop a set of the Pagids in that Drew gets, we'll worth a try before you spend silly money that you don't need to.

I'm not inpressed with the PF pads unless you pay silly money for the top end stuff, as Jonny says above,i run the pagids in mine and the Sti and had no probs, I'm just starting to run out of brakes in the wagon at warp factor 10 lol
