I'm running Ferodo DS 2500's and love em.
I was getting a wicked shimmy from pad transfer with the stockers. When I swaped em out I cleaned up the rotors with some emory cloth and the breaking action has never been better. Lance shop has them for a pretty good price also.

I have the Endless SSS right now and I would choose Endless again over anything the next time I replace my pads.

Thanks,

what kind of pad is recommened for street use. i will eventually autox once or twice, so not often. i also want the least amount of break dust. my car stops fast enough, so i'm not looking for better perfomance. i don't want any loss of perfomance and certainly wouldn't mind better performance. price is not really important. any suggestions?

You want a track/street pad. The best we have found is the Ferodo DS2500. They work great no pad noise going from 140-0 or from 40-0 better braking then stock and seem to like it when you push them. Great Option.

Ferodo DS2500 is pretty good but they tends to dust alot and eat up the rotors.

Thanks,
Tom
