I presume by looking at the orientation of the bleed nipples would be the easiest way of knowing?

Going to follow it up this week as when I mentioned it to VWR last year they claimed to have never heard of the issue.

Could using DS2500s not being making a small issue a much larger issue. DS2500s are only a fast road/light track pad. For what you and neilM ar suing them on caged very powerful trackcars running semi slick and even slick tyres etc. You would be able to get you would be able to get your brakes running huge temperatures compared to what i could manage on my little Fabia.

DS2500's are what VWR recommend for all applications, they have told me a number of the race cars still run the 2500 rather than the 3000.
The new pads installed today are 3000's though :happy2:

Christ, i managed to get the DS2500s to fade with 312mm discs on my octavia when at Oschersleben Motorsport Arena.
That said, the discs are only small so wont dissipate the heat as well. Guess the Octavia is a heavy beast as well
