Ferodo brake pad info needed

[CHRIS172CUP]

I'm currently running DS2500 and they're 60% worn. Super setup with the hoses etc. I notice the DS3000 are even more track/race orientated. Has anyone run them, are they a lot different, need a lot more heat to get them going?

I'd imagine they kill discs more too but that's not an issue as I do little miles now.

Any info would be great, cheers.

I think they are for track use only mate, pagid blues are supposed to be good ask markcup .

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Yeah, a mate of mine has some blues. Will ask around.

Evo gone used to run them but therew bit hard for road use. He went backl to 2500's in the end as it wasn't worth the cleaning I don't think.

 

[Weeman]

well???



wot colour are the ds2500s?

 

[MarkCup]

Get Pagid Blue's Chris.

Work great from cold, and on track no amount of abuse would kill them off...in my hands anyway.

well im not sure of the model no. but i have red ferodos on the front of mine. absolutely superb so far. no drastic effect with cold braking.and spent pretty much all day on track at oulton last rs trackday there.....not a bit of fade....ruined a set of tyres, lost about 1/2 stone in weight..pads n discs still s**t hot. well recommended......even yozza was impressed lol.
