Does anyone use these just for street use?
I have a StopTech front kit, and need a pad change.
ALthough i currently have StopTech's own Axxis Ultimate pad at the minute, i was wondering what the DS2500 would be like?
I know a lot of ppl seem to rate them on here, but i was after a more road related review, if you like.
So, roadwise, what are they like?
And what are they like cold?

Very good all round pad and good for street use.

Good bite from cold and not as dirty as Pagid RS4.2-1s IMHO

Just fitted them all round replacing standard Brembo, better cold, better warm and night and day better hot. Best investment I’ve made in the car

agreed

great pads - only downside is some squeal when braking softly..... worth it for the bite cold and hot though

gatecrasher3

100% agree. Fitted a set from AS Performance last week and they are fantastic

grahamfrary

Agreed. Tried Red Stuff, Green Stuff, Predator, Pagid, and Mintex 1144 and DS2500 are the best of the lot.

me to, spot on

DS 2500 are the business. Very effective in all temperatures

just fitted mine, very good set up and i am really really impressed. Bite is much better than mine standard setup, however you really notice the difference braking from high speed - I keep pulling up short!

Yup, I'm running them on my AP 6 pots on the road....a great all round pad!

good for road, not so great when they get really hot on the track

i mean do u get a lot of it (more or less than OE)

dynamix

iTrader: (3)

more but who cares - i stop before i hit stuff and that works for me i can cope with a bit of brake dust.

coulty

Actually the DS2500 looks slightly reddy black in colour

rasheedn

thanks for the reply

I've got DS2500 front and back, before I had Redstuff from EBC.
Comparing the 2, I've found the DS2500 far superior, better feel, better bite,
less dust.

Highly recomended as an all around pad, and they do take track abuse quite well too

rasheedn

quick question, where do u guys buy them from? trying to import them to israel and i am having problems with companies delivering without charging me more than 50 for just delivery!!! (only pads!!!)

thanks

I buy from the UK - ran a GB for them about a month back on them - dont think you find a UK company that will ship to Israel. Best to get them shipped to someone you know in the uk and get them to post on to you - but they will cost a lot for postage cos they are heavy

Also interested in front and back for MY01...was in your group buy Dynamix but had to drop out due to lack of funds...Needed as soon as, is there any other scooby sites doing group buys

dynamix

not that i am aware of - give alyn at ASP a call he may sort a SN deal for you - maybe not GB prices but will be good I am sure.

How is the cold stopping performance of these pads? I am looking to get some but heard some bad reports about their stopping ability when cold a while back on here.

better than standard OE pads IMO but when they get warm/hot they perform best.

mid_life_crisis

Agreed

Thanks for all the info ppl
I am back at API on the 29th so David is trying to source some of these to fit for me when they fit my ALK as well.
So what with that and the quick rack, camber bolts, and stuff, i ought to have one finely 'tuned' suspension setup.
Right, now i'm off to find someone good enough to drive it! LOLz0rs.
