As title, I heard of a few minor issues with their products(a few years ago now) stuff like pads falling apart etc..
While they were reasonably minor and i can see beyond forum scaremongering i would like some genuine feedback about their current products.

Specifically i'm after replacing front discs and pads like for like on my st24 as the taxi pads its fitted with are almost lunched!

I'm after uprated replacements, i know there are other braking upgrades for these old barges but its a bit of a stop gap car so i don't want to arse about with caliper swaps, all i want is some better response and performance. I had in mind turbo groove discs with green stuff pads.

I'd like to do the same swap in the mrs' ST170 too down the line but would be interested in feedback on the same combination's cold performance. She comes out of work and is in very short 40/50mph blasts and queues on a typically 20min journey so they dont get a lot of heat in them.

my brother bought yellowstuff for his track civic type r and they lasted about 2 track days.iv got ds2500 on my focus and done 3 track days with hardly any wear

I always used to fit ferodo, iirc they were somewhere between the ds2500 and normal pads and were faultless, would need a good disc to combine with them, pattern replacements wouldnt cut it.

Ive used there orange and yellow on track cars, the yellows aint to bad to be fair as long as you dont cook them, dont hold up to bad for there price. Depends what your after if you want a track pad use DS3000's or XP8/10'S

Greenstuff are total utter wank, you may as well fit cheese slices. Heard good thinks about yellow and red but after the shit I had with the greens I wouldn't touch them..

I thought DS2500 were good till I tried Carbone Lorraine RC6's.
RC6's are an awesome pad and work from stone cold and I couldn't get them to fad at Donington even running slicks.

I have used pagid on my BMW and ferodo DS2500 on the toy! - I have a fiesta with cossie 4x4 calipers and uprated disks (http://en.tarox.com/products/brake-d...ort-japan.html)

They work very well and the tyres are now the bit that needs upgrading!

All useful feedback, evidently things aren't much better. Will look at the mintex and couple them with some suitable discs.
