Ferodo DS3000?

Anyone using them? I need some feedback please.
I’m currently using the ds2500 and love them. I’m planning on tracking my car more often and thinking about upgrading to the ds3000. Any experience with the 3000’s?

Great pads, just don't last very long. What kind/size tires do you run?

I'm going to say that you'll definitely want to upgrade. I'm on DS2500s right now too, also running RE01Rs, 245/40/17.

I did two track days at Streets of Willow which is a relatively low speed track and in ~40-45F weather, and they held up fine. I just did Buttonwillow which is a higher speed track with a few hard braking zones, 80-90+F temps, and I was getting pad transfer onto the rotors. This is with the mitsu brake cooling guides.

Pagid Yellows would be a great choice for those tires. Last a long time and are very kind to the rotors.

Thanks everyone.

I ended up ordering the Pagid Yellows RS-19, Techna-fit SS lines and Hot Laps' brakes cooling kit.

Pagid Yellows are our "go to" pads for EVOs and STis on street tries. Been running them for years with great results. Some of the new Hawk pads are pretty good too.

Let us know if you have any questions about Hawk or Pagid, we carry both.

DS3000 is more track oriented.

DS2500 is more daily and mild track works.
