I was wondering how the new DS2500 is in real,... compared to the DS3000 (motorsports) and DS2000 (Fastroad) ...what abouth diskwear and padwear,...and ofcourse the Brakedust!

I've had them on my AP 4 pots since October.

I'm impressed with them. No fade at all, and very impressive once warmed up.

They are quite dusty pads, in that the wheels get quite dirty, but the dust is of the type that washes off very easily indeed, unlike the DS3000s. I haven't noticed any real wear on the discs yet, and the pads still have plenty of life.

I have noticed that they can squeal occasionally when cold, and under light braking effort, but in my case it could just be that I need more copper grease on the back of the pads, as I didn't have any to hand when I put them in, and used what I could salvage from the old pads!

I'm running some in my 6 pots at the moment (but with drilled disks), seem OK fast road wise, but haven't had them on track yet.

I use DS3000 on track...........superb

And DS2500 front and rear on road........superb

Oh....and I've left the DS2500's in for the last 2 track days..............superb

I have the Ds4003s in my std 4 pots and I believe they are very similar,
They are way better than the std pads or the mintex, I have two trackdays on them a few thousand miles, and they will do until I sell the car in a few weeks.
They are a little dusty (much less than mintex) but I have no probs with squeal (the mintex sounded like a herd of excited piglets), I have yet to try the 2500s as the 4003s are still on the car.
I may have a set (still boxed) to sell as I am not going to need them now (STI on way)

Had them for some time now, and used on track at Dono and Trax. Trax was time limited so no problem, Dono again was timed, but 30 min. sessions was enough to get some temps going though them. No fade at all. I have AP 6 pot calipers by the way.

Yes they are dusty, but it comes off pretty easy. As for disc wear, they have casued my drilled AP discs to crack, but I expected that. The discs have worn quicker than normal, but you are using a hard pad compound. So expect it.
