im fitting 4x4 cos brakes to my s2 rst,whats the best ferodo pads to use?ds2500's?ta,lee

 

yeah mate 2500's ive herd 3000's can be abit harsh on the disk

 

cool,had a look on ebay,they aint cheap,they cost more than the discs!

 

try matt lewis or woodford

 

ill try matt,that was woodford.they were always a bit more than everybody else but were always there with advice and were quick delivery.im building my rst on a budget,got carried away with my cos and trying to get everything as cheap as i can instead of just paying for the 1st thing i see.im too impulsive for my bank account sometimes!

 

I've had Performance pads from Ferodo, gone in 10k miles and mega judder in the begin

I thought 3000 are not allowed on the road ??

Rs Nick on here had DS2500 on his RS Turbo Fez with 4x4 Cos brakes, could ask him for info

 

2500's, 3000's are very, very good, but would be a bit shite for everyday use, throw burning metal out everywhere when they get hot too, so they ruin your wheels.

 

I've been running DS3000's all round in my saph and have no complaints.

People have said to me that DS3000's would be complete shit for the road but once you've done a couple of miles, the brakes are perfectly normal. They didn't take long to wear out my nearly new AP discs though as they are quite harsh on them but that may be due to my driving style!!

 

I can't imagine the old bill pulling me over, taking my wheels off, pulling out my pads and checking to see what pads they are!!!

 

They are great. Nothing wrong with!
But the fez rst is sold a week ago :'( My new daily ride is a focus. And the cos for the weekend

 

Sure not mate, only problem could be if your in a accident and they technical check the car or with MOT

 

I use 2500 and they are quite nice, no problem with them even from cold.

 

A accident inspector from the plod or insurance co can legally though if involved in accident whether at fault or not, something to consider.

I'd best be careful then!! Lol!
