I took my car to my mechanic to replace the brake pads. Never specified a brand because i thought i he would just put stock pads from the dealership on. So i get my car back and take a look through the caliper to see whats on and the car seems to be riding Ferodo DS Ceramic pads in the front, and some ATE pads at the back.
They are still bedding in so i have not really stomped on them to see what the performance is like but can anyone give me some feed back on these pads?
Must say the nice part is that they are both producing far less dust than the stock Jurid's and cost about 80% less than the price on www.realoem.com

DS2500's and DS3000's are about the best track pads around

Only thing i saw was FDS799 i think it was, which brought the size. And M3488.

Ferodo 2500 are a street pad, not a track pad. Agree about the 3000s- I loved them when i ran them.

I do not care for the DS2500's. They do decent with mild track use, but make lots of noise on the street and leave pad deposits on the rotors (atleast mine did). Too much of a compromise pad, I would recommend 1 pad for track, 1 pad for street instead of the DS.

Hawks eat the Ferodos for breakfast.
