Discs from ebc used to be terrible, but good now as made in house.
My tarox 6 pots came with 10 mile old DS2500, now have new yellowstuff DS were binned, they have zero feel compared to the ebc yellows and reds, they are also crap from cold in comparison to the yellows/reds.
Ebc have a money back gaurantee that if you can find a better road spec pad they will refund you in full.
Mintex 1144/1155 are 100% better than DS 2500 imo, just very very dusty.
Despite taking off the anti rattle shims from the rear of the pads for a better feel I still have not in 15 years had so much as a squeak from the pads hot or cold, I use no coppaslip either on rear of pad.

I'm a bit confused here, you say they 2500 are crap in one post then say you've been using the 2500's in the second post
So which ones which?

The mintex 1155 I gave away to Retro Al when he had his tasty mk1 escort in castrol colours.
