Default Pads for the track!

I've got some 300mm Mondeo mk3 callipers.

What do people recommend on track?

I can't seem to find any ds2500's for them! And I'm no fan of mintex!!!!

Thanks

Hardto find pads for these. If you speak to carbotech then will make you some if you send the, a set of pads. A choice of material but 160+vat

Am I right in thinking st170 brakes are 300mm too? If so why not swap over too them as there will be a lot more available for the st170

Had some st170 brakes to rebuild and fit but can't find new seals etc anywhere! So sold them, and bought these. Plus thought the piston was slightly bigger in them too?

i used the mondeo brakes got rid as there's just no pads for them really, was using yellow stuff but they didn't hold up to well i found! The XP8's are great but as said they are very expensive. You could change to the ST170 caliper but by the time you brought those and pads be the same as the XP8's lol im using Hispec 6 pots now with DS3000's there unreal last all day with no fade need a bit of warming but they put my RS2000 on its nose everytime

I've found EBC to be garbage. Mintex 1144's have never let me down.
