Evo VIII Ferodo DS2500
Too bad it's wrong.
The front pads on the VIII, IX and X are all the same (1001 for those that are interested). The rears are different, but Girodisc makes an adapter for the rears to allow the X to use VIII/IX rear pads on the X.

is 1001 a standard for pads? (searched on that one too...)
is the adapter worth the $60.00 being that it is 50% of the cost of rear DS2500 pads?

I got the adapters when I bought my DS2500's but that was a year ago. Now there are X specific pads out there, so I'd just get those.
I am not using my adapters any more, so if you wanted them, make me an offer I can't refuse
They are a little dirty... but they do work.
D1001 is the "shape" designation that most pads will reference.

Well, they have a different part number at the distributor I called if you order the X pads, so that's why I said no.
Sorry if it was wrong.
PS: I always replace all four pads, never just fronts.

You can leave the stock rears in for a track day. The car will have a slight desire to bring the rear around when braking, but it's not terrible.
I ran the DS2500's in front with stock rears for quite a while...

Different part because the compound is different. The shape is the same in front.

No. No. No. Not track pads. Only good to 1000 MOT. Sorry, your heavy Xs will hit that MOT pretty quickly.
Get a proper track pad.

I now have the girodisc 2 piece front and 1 piece rears. When it came time to get pads, I didn't get the DS2500's again. I went with the DTC-30's around town & autocross and I have HT-10's for the track.
