Thanks for the tip Lottie.

DS3000 you use? What discs do you use with these?

Andy N+N Got the DS3000 with the Brembo OEM equivelants and we thought they would maul the discs but they suprisingly don't. So I am now toying with upgrading to DS3000 over getting another pair of DS2500.

My experience:

DS2500 is slightly better than OEM pads when cold, BUT 2x better when hot.
Meaning, even in cold it brakes better than OEM, but does GREAT job when heated.

Only downside to this, it has variable braking power which may be tricky to predict what to expect. Still, I wouldn't run without those EVER again!!!

***** when cold though, as HASNIC can testify when trying to stop for that layby in germany lol

My experience with ds2500s is only on my Teg but I was impressed, even cold they were good. Would've liked to try them with braided lines too.

Can't really agree, I found the DS2500 better than OEM, even when cold.

Has anyone used carbone lorraines?

I was taking to murray motorsport here in Dublin and used to sell ferodo and reckons lorraines are the next step better

Carbone Lorraines are excellent but will absolutely destroy discs in no time

I've been hearing very good things about the Carbotec XP range of pads :

Where did you get your braided lines from?

Anyone any suggestions of where to get decent ones?

Shaenei · Jul 18, 2011

HEL and Goodridge are popular choices, I got mine from eightspeed http://www.eightspeed.co.uk/
