I changed to yellow stuff pads when my standard ones wore out. They do give improved performance on track, but they arn't as good for road use. They must need a bit of heat to get them going. I also have a set of the pads Brian had made up, but am yet to try them.
If improved track performance is your aim, try EBC yellow stuff pads. Some have done bigger front brake conversions, but it's not an easy task, and i think requires wheel changes too.

You should "in theory" be able to fit the AP Racing 4 pots (or was it 6?) designed for the E46 to the front but A) they're several thousand quid and B) you'd need new wheels.

good fluid and pads that generate a bit of heat are all you really need
When I collected my car one calliper was partially seized and I can assure the brakes that day were working bloody well
Brianl is right the colour of the wheel lacquer will tell you when you have got it right!
