Bog standard ZT190 parts will fit and are probably the most sensible option
best price is probably from EPC

Lots of discussion on the twosixties forum re yellow stuff pads at the moment

Mine had Mintex disks and pads, disks look ok but the pads started to break up so it now has Girlings fitted which will do until I can give the entire lot a going over as the yellow paint on the suspension legs need re doing.

Remember the lotus Elise pads on the rear do not have a wear sensor so eye ball them regularly.

I went for EBC discs (standard, not grooved/dimpled) with MG original pads. Works fine for me.
