Title: Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads
Post by: fab5freddy on December 11, 2012, 05:14:23 pm

Am i missing something here? Was told that they had stopped making these for the R32 setup and were no longer available  :confused:

Think i remember reading about how good a setup these are for fast road pads. Can anyone confirm?

used these for years in the subaru ive had....
expensive but awesome pads ..
can be hard to keep alloys clean with the excessive brake dust they emit..
only pads i found as good for less where the carbon lorraine pads
