    I currently run the ds2500 frt pads and not that keen
    Not enough initial bite
    Faded bad on track
    I ran the ds3000 but the dust was mad
    Any other option that don't cost a bomb
    Cheers
    ie mintex etc
    I am after a good cold bite

    If you want awesome bite from the word go then either DS 1.11 s od carbotec XP8s , neither will fade on track, my money I'd be buying the DS 1.11s as the carbotec are about £230 where as the others are about £160,
    hope this helps

    For cold bite you wil not beat the carbotec, straight off the drive they will stand the car on its nose

    i'm actually loving my new set of PFC 08 compound.. dust is the same like oem pads, noisy only at low speed braking

    £220ish here in Czech Rep. for MRSII/CRSIII so better check yourself for some UK deals..mine were even more expensive but i'm really happy with them and I even do drive my car daily.. the bite increases slightly with temperature rise so no need to warm them up.. PFC 08 is an endurance compoun - they should last long and should not destroy the discs rapidly, but PFC has some newer compounds now so they may be even better

    RC5+'s are in a different league to RS29's! Pagids piss all over them!
    Not the RC5's, Even the 6's aren't that bad on discs

    I've tried most pads and the DS1.11's are leagues ahead.

    initial bite gives you whiplash, when warmed up they're even better, they just don't give up.

    speak Josh Cook for a good price on the DS1.11's :wink:

    i wouldn't mind trying those ds1.11s, but looking at Johns callipers, the heat from the pads discolours them, thats just me being a bit anal, ceramic pads don't seem to affect the callipers . I fried my callipers with RC6, great stopping power but i wouldn't use them again.I'm on Pagid RS5 now, great bite from cold, no noise (so far) and are great on track, no fade at all, but not cheap.

    Can't wait to try these ds 1.11
    Had the 2500 total rubbish
    The ds3000 are very good but kills the alloys
