Any opinions on Ferodo's DS2500 pads?
i've been scouring for a set of pads that would fit the x without adaptors, for light track usage. it looks like ferodo's DS2500 is the only current option (that i can find at least). does anyone have them on the x currently? how is the performance, noise, and brake dust?

I've had these on my car for the last 1000 miles or so, including one autocross. I swapped my rotors and lines when I changed the pads as well, so I don't have a good idea of what difference the pads alone would make. The brakes work great, though, with a lot of initial bite. There is still some squealing once they heat up and under light braking, but the dust is significantly less than the stock pads.

I've run them on the street and on the track and honestly they did not hold up well for me on the track. Something more agressive like a Hawk HP+ works better on the street and on the track, although they are noisy..

I have about 9000 miles on them.
Pros:
- they do work ok for light track duty and autocross
- not as dusty as the OEM pads
Cons:
- squeaaaaaaaaaaal
- Once you let the smoke out (overheat them), they're done
- pad transfer to the rotors is really, really heavy
- they are semi-aggressive on the rotors
TxEvo8, the HP+ suck IMO. Noisy and they don't brake all that great. I for SURE wouldn't run them in the X on the track. I've not found a pad that I really like yet.
