Yellowstuffs knackered - how long do DS2500s last on average?

[Chri5]

Well after only 7000miles including 2 track days, my EBC Yellowstuffs are down to feck all, didnt even realise and didnt expect it so soon.
Took the wheels off to change the front shocks today and looked down to find about 1.5mm of pad left on all 4 :S

Will most likely get some DS2500's, but a question looms, how long are these likely to last? I dont want to spend £130 for them to be the same after similar miles, or less

A lot longer, fairly sure mine done 15000 including a lot of Trackdays

Chris i have a set of almost new DS2500's in my garage i was going to keep as spares, but make me an offer i can't refuse and they are yours My new car came with almost new ones on.

As Danny saidfella. DS2500's lasted ages on my Clio which did a few track days, a 'ring trip and the daily commute.

Not sure if the DS2500's will provide as good a stopping power though.

Do you do much track, or is it mainly normal road use?

 

[Chri5]

Cheers Danny, gonna go with some off Lewis!

Stava, its mostly road use with a track day here and there. From the cars I've been passenger in running DS2500s, they felt stronger than yellowstuffs tbh!

Ive got ds2500's and rate them very highly. 3 trackdays and 10k or so miles. One of the guys at oulton on friday was using ebc bluestuff and he absolutley loved them, not sure how much they are in comparison though.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I've done about 40k miles including 5 trackdays & 10 laps of the ring on my DS2500s's ...

Well, pads changed for DS2500's (cheers Lewis) yesterday and so far very pleased with the performance. So much more bite and stopping power (IMO) than the Yellowstuffs, especially from stone cold

i wouldn't waste my time using ebc pads as paper weights let alone brake pads. ds 2500 are a good pad same as the minutes range 1155 ,1166 . just with these race pads make sure you bed them in right or they will be useless.

 

[LewisTaylor]

Nice one glad your pleased with them mate

My DS2500 pads lasted me quite a while.

Make sure they're filled down and free to move and they'll last a lot longer than 7k miles and two trackdays
