Why don't you want DS2500 anymore?

Carbon metallics are good, i;ve found but ti depends on application. Road car? track day car? ect...

Im just about to put my ap's on and am going for the ferodo ds2500. I wont touch mintex again for pads.

i use ds2500. Excellent pads in my opinion.

Ferodo DS3000s, more bite, more feel, BUT with added dust and squeaks. But worth it for the improvement.

Do the 3000's kill the discs Mike?

this is what all the Evo Boys use on there Brembo & AP Calipers these pads come highly recommended, they do have more applications than is listed

You know how I use my car and in almost 7 years I have had three sets of discs (will need a fourth set middle of next year). In my mind that is more than acceptible, the difference is unbelievable, and i can direct compare, as I try and run the DS2500s on the road and then switch to the DS3000s for track, however, they are just SO good, that I really miss the 3000s when I'm running the 2500s, and invariably keep the 3000s in (which is why I now have two spare sets of 2500s, but no 3000s left at the moment ).

Sound like my next set of pads

m_nettleship

Good pads, but the substance in the pads eat at ur wheels too. Dnt think there anty squeek either.

would you get the 3000's hot enough to get the best out of them?

Mike Rainbird

iTrader: (3)

I have never noticed a delay in my own car with the 3000s, but it is heavy (1400kg).

I have been pleased with my DS2500s - not quite as sharp as when cold as std Motorcraft 2wd pads...but they stand up to hard use quite well. I haven't had them fade on me yet despite some spirited drives following Skylines and Lotuses through the mountains.
My car weighs 1220kg

Matt give the 3000's a try, i prefer them over the 2500's even for road use - instant bite and they inspire more confidence.

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

we dont have reliability problems

we dont need any more it always stays at 2.1/2 bar and is making over 600hp so thats plenty for a car geared for 150 on 4.44 diffs

m_nettleship
