I think the standard prodrive pads are actually Ferodo DS3000. However the DS2500 is meant to be a better pad. I'm currently using Pagid Yellow (because they were the only ones I could get in 24 hours when I needed them) and they are very good - although Pagid Blue are recommended for fast road, Mintex 1144 are also meant to be good.

A good place to buy would be from Alyn at AS Performance - he sorted me out before.

Cheers

Terry

AFAIK they stopped using these due to excessive brake dust issues. The pads are Ferodo but apparently not DS2000 or 2500 either.
EBC who sponsor this forum do good deals for SN members and I believe their RedStuff Ceramics are rated pretty highly. As is Alyn.
