    people that have the ds2500 pads swear by them.
    i have police spec pads on mine, they are an impovement over the standard pad.

    i only have experience with a 200sx(for the moment) but on my old S14, the pads needed changing the day i bought the car. i got greenstuff pads and they were not good at all, but as that was the only experience i had with 200sx brakes i just thought that 200sx brakes were crap lol!!
    i changed to ferodo ds2500s and the difference was amazing. they cost quite a bit, but then they last for a long time as well.
    definetly the pads i'll be going fr when i need to change pads

    Brake Pads

    I agree that ds2500 are very good but Iv'd just put a set of ferodo performance pads in [they used to be named ds2000] and up to now find them just as good, I think the ds2500 are better for track days etc but the difference in price, like £150 down to £90, the police spec pads I'vd tried and they are not even in the equation.
