All I know is I did my very first track day as a novice, so I was not hard on the brakes at all, then they totally sucked. I might still have them sitting in the box of ferrodo ds2500's that I replaced them with. to give oyu an idea of how bad they were, when I put the ds2500's on I thought the hand of god was stopping the car...

granted I might have had the totally wrong compound on teh car, back then I didn't know better, so take that for what its worth.

I want something that bites hard but I dont need a race pad as I may only do one or 2 autox a year or a trackday, but then again that would be a damn miracle all in itself

try those carbotech AX6's Mike just got, or the bobcats.

I believe it, but they have alot of different compounds to choose from. I loved the way the ds2500's felt on MAt's car to be honest, so that has been my choice thus far unless convinced otherwise. I already have motul fluid and stainless lines, but the clear on my brakes is looking like crap too, so I may be doing it all at once.. Might just paint the brakes here at work and leave the car for a day or two and do it right since we have a paint booth and ovens if I needed them

As far as the brakes, if you were thinking about going with the DS2500's I would suggest the RB ET-500's, they have teh same temp rating and are def cheaper. They seem to work well for me so far, no complaints here.
