I've heard of them.
Never used them though so can't help much but I would be tempted to go with the collective hiarchey as go for :-
OE
Greens
Mintex
Pagids
S2 Elise (cobalt blue with stripes) - toy spec
Caterham 7 - hillclimb spec
Yamaha Thundercat - 2 wheeled toy spec

Was the recommended upgrade for road/trackday pad for Noble - but never heard of them on a Lotus.

A lot of CTR owners are using the Ferodo's, AFAIK they are pretty good.

Dan in Newcastle just fitted mintex pads all round on mine -
the difference between these and the OE is amazing - the brakes actually work!

couldn't find where to buy on questmead. seems to suggest that they only supply to teams. have emailed them for prices etc. were they cool with giving you just one set Si??
and cheers for your input guys. on further digging it seems ferodo don't do a matching set for the elise. there is one sort for front and different for rear though...

Tom, you have to phone them and actually talk to someone. No hiding behind the interweb

Eliseparts don't sell SBS, Elise-Shop did but when you add on shipping and tax I think they're more expensive.
