Brake pads for early/mid 90s campy Athena

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for some pads that are going to give some better stopping performance?

Have managed to get a few rides in on the Ribble this summer, but I'd forgotten how crap the brakes were (especially on steep descents)

koolstop salmon, or dura 2 every time.
i think the athena version of the monoplaners has a wide enough slot to fit shimano shoes.

i have some earlier chorus ones which have a narrow slot. i ground down the threaded sleeve nuts so they will fit my brakes.

i can give detail if you wanr.

Cheers @quintilation I'll look in to those 👍 I'd not thought about filing them down to make them fit
 
i just put an m5 allen bolt through the nut,
clamped the head of the nut in a drill and used a file to thin the sleeved section.

it only needs to be reduced by about 1/2mm to fit. but check i think you might not need to do this on athena brakes.
