Are the DS2000/2500s a similar price?

 

[Fred@BTM]

bit more for the DS2500's £60 + delivery off the top of my head (maybe a bit less)

I'd say stock ones are fine FDB 845 from Halfords £17.99. They stand a fair bit of abuse.

Ergh Greenstuff!

 

[Fred@BTM]

nothing wrong with the new model greenstuffs the old ones (back in the 90's) were crap

That's probably what I'm thinking off, I heard a lot of people having their pads just disintegrate and fall apart. Something you could do without. :S

Still don't like them though.

Red-Dot, Mintex, Brembo, Black Diamond, etc for me.

How are the pagid fast road pads for valver brakes? just the standard black ones, come in a blue box...found some for only £25.

 

[Rich1.2]

they are spot on imo the pagids

 

[izibizi]

pagid standards great for road, dusty

 

[chris_clio_2006]

how do you expect a good pad not to be dusty that stops the car via friction? all good pads cause dust. just paint your wheels black or clean them religiously! (my wheels were painted black so i dont car lol)

im using EBC GreenStuff, hardly any brake dust compaired to standard pads (standards only other pads ive tried)

stop the car VERY well when warmed up, paired with BlackDiamond fast road drilled & Grovved disks
