In my case DS2500 lasted rather well, at least longer than OEM Brembos or Magics. Approximately 8k miles on stock Brembo pads, then approximately 16k miles on Ferodo, then approximately 10k miles on OEM Brembo and now it's already 8k on Magics. I believe they will last not more than few k more, hence approximately 10k for Magics.

However, I must mention that faster wear of OEM and Magics may be caused by the fact they seen higher temperatures, than they were designed for.

PS all that time rotors were kept stock, this season we'll see how Girodisc 2-piece slotted rotors and ET700 will show themselves...

Were you using the DS2500's for track or just daily driving?
I think most people say they do not last, if you do drive them and use them hard, compared to other brakes used similarly.

Thanks guys for info..
I live somewhere really cold which is -35C join the winter, I need really good brake pads that would work even in freezing temperature, Also i do 2 days HPDS every year and lots of auto slalom. About the dust i don't really care that much. I actually want the best performance brake pads in the market (Not too expensive), So what do you guys suggest? Butaway i own evo x

This! Never driven with them in snow and rain but they do have a great initial bitein cold weather.

maybe that the case, as my Ferodo's were used relatively mildly (haven't visited the track at that time)
