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!!

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