Ferodo DS2500 Pads

Anybody had experience with Ferodo DS2500 . Seem to be excellent track and street pad. $350 for all four corners. From my online research appears a bit better than HP+.

Default Ferodo DS2500 Pads

Anybody had experience with Ferodo DS2500. Seem to be excellent track and street pad. $350 for all four corners. From my online research appears a bit better than HP+. Higher heat rating (1300 F vs HP+ 1000F). I do HPDE and not sure if I should step up to Ferodo or if can get by with HP + or even HPS? Any feedback welcome.

Search. They are a good street pad, not a good track pad. There is no such thing as a good street AND track pad. I had these and the HP+ on my STI and the HP+ were much better IMO.

The best thing you can do is get Carbotech XP10s all around...they squeel a bit, but they are much better and usable on the street...

My friend used it on his EVO, all pad material and rotor were done after 2 track days. It's worthless from what I can tell.

I ran them with my front brembo/rear sport brakes and wore them down in one weekend at the track. HP+ aren't good on this car for the track either. Go carbotech. I use XP12 front and XP10 rear, but thats probably overkill.

I agree with everyone else. DS2500's are great for the street but no good at the track. XP10's at all 4 corners worked great for me at the track. Too noisy for the street for me though.
