No, I'm not shy! LOL.
DS3000's lasted about 10 minutes in Gary's on track before they fell apart. Something to do with the compound including rubber, I did get an explanation at the time, but can't remember the intricate details now. Either way, we won't be using them again!

To be fair i put that down to me driving like a bit of a loon, getting the discs real hot and then ragging it through a load of standing water

Mad Evo 4 - not being funny pal, but in your sig it says "I WORK ON CARS YOU CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT !!!" - and yet you ask questions about what to use on every minute aspect of your car. What gives?

The only thing I have been warned about them is that they eat the discs as they are such hard compound.
DS2500 are a superb pad, I've never had a car heavy enough to really require anything more extreme but they have never let me down
