Stoptech brake testing on Vishnu One Lap EVO

Yes, we currently offer the big brake upgrade. The standard off-the-shelf Stoptech upgrade is priced at $1990. For approx $300 extra, you can opt for the same front and rear pad configuration (Hawk HPS in the rear and Pagid Orange in the front) we settled on after all our runway testing. Real impressive package. Lead times are approx 7-10 days.

Would Ferodo DS2500 pads be just as good instead of the Hawk HPS in the rear? Or was this pad configuration specifically chosen to work in this package?
In other words, was Stoptech looking for pads with a specific coefficient of friction?

By changing rear friction material, we're getting reeeaally nit-picky. It was worth it for us since we wanted to nail the 150 to 0 deccel test at the Car & Driver supertuner shootout. We needed a brake pad combination that offered perfect immediate bite while still being able to put up with the infield road course and the final big brake! The job was to keep all four corners working hard. That is, we needed the rears to do a much work as possible in order to releive the fronts of unneccessary labor. The final pad combination yielded the most even rotor temps. We entered the test with DS3000s and found temp improvements going with the HPS. This is one of the cool things about actually testing stuff
