depends on your budget really, the on;y downside of the ds2500 curently is their cost..........
if you want something more cost effective then Mintex 1155, PF 97, etc. are better value if no quite as refined

So the DS2500 better pads?

What if money was not the main concern, stopping power being more important.

What would say the best pads are for fast road and the odd track use?

For normal to fast road use our Kevlar compound is very popular and just £59.99.

The best all round pad is EBC Bluestuff NDX for anyone looking for both road and track. This is the compound we use. £148.26 for your caliper

all depends on how "well" you use your brakes on track..........the PF97 is very good all round, as is something like Pagid rs4.2 (only issue is Pagid dont do a matching rear)

be better to drop me a mail or ring the office 0191-4103770 as brakes are so personal there isn't a "one-size fits all" option (wish there was as it would mean i wouldn't have so much stock tied up )

I have been offered a nearly new set of Red stuff brake pads for £50 delivered.
Are these pads any good and is that a good price?I think they have only done 3000 miles but i will ask for some pics if i go ahead.

Not sure of the value of going for 3000 mile old brake pads.
