just changed to FERODO DS2500
as they dont dust up so much

braking feels better as well tbh,
cost a little more,
but the rims are cleaner

Mine squeal like crazy unless you use them pretty hard. Fairly common I believe. But they work OK.

You'd recomend these new 1s you have now thn, has anybody else used these before?
I also read that the pads go well with the braided lines to stop them expanding, harder pad, harder lines means harder pedal with better stoping distance, i can put up with dust and squealing, as a sacrafice for better breaks...

I believe the M1155 are better suited to track work than road use. The M1144 work just fine on mine.
