I've HPDE'd and DDed the various versions of the DS2500 for about 10 years now. It all depends on how you drive on the track and of course the track itself but ideally once you have about 70% pad life going into an HPDE you should be ok to drive home once you aren't trying to win the HPDE . They are noisy on the street but compared to some of the more dedicated track pads they are about the best entry level compromise you are going to get. When I was getting about 3 track days a season with about 5-6 sessions each I'd go through a set in about 1.5 seasons including mild street duty (less than 3000miles a year) the last couple of seasons. If you are pushing harder or plan to go on above HPDE then you can switch out to something else IMO
For the undertray, the beatrush won't fit with some of the aftermarket pans (like the moroso) which sit lower than OEM and if you run the Mitsubishi brake air guides you'll need to cut it on each side to ensure airflow continues to make it to those guides. Other than that, it's a quality piece which I haven't been able to run due to having a moroso pan.....

Another pad question: Are non ABS guys going with a different pad?
I have a RS (300whp; 275/35/18 nexen sur4) and it seems like avoiding the high initial bite pads would be a little safer for avoiding a flat spot scenario but I'd of course prefer to not have to worry about any fade whatsoever.
ST-43 front and something else rear? Would XP10 front XP 8 rear hold up?

Yeah, The CT XP10's / XP8's were my set-up at Fontana. They worked well on the RS.
Super squeak when cold but bites hard & no squeak when at op temp. Many pull downs from 120+ to 40mph w/no lock ups & never flat spotted (Nitto NT01's helped for sure)
