James,in the evo world, most hot heads says ds2500 is rubbish...

Much better XP8/10 brake pads or some pagid RS...

If you want I can ask for very good track day pads for your brembos

[Jamo]

I wouldn't say they are rubbish but for this application I would have thought the DS3000 be a better choice and the DS2500 have a tendacy to eat discs.

Also ditch the OEM discs for Girodiscs!

DS2500 are more of a trackday pad and to work properly, they need to transfer a layer of pad material to the disc, so will work better after a few heat cycles. Pad material is an important choice and depends on what you are going to use the car for. Best off to speak to a few pad manufacturers and motorsport places to see what they recommend for your application(s).

From my experience with the DS2500, they need heat to work at their best and the first proper run tends not to give too good performance, most likely as the brakes are cleaned and the pads deposit a decent layer of friction material to the disc surface. Of course, this is on a car used on a daily basis, not a race car.

Nice, car looks amazing!

DS2500 are for trackday and light race use.

DS3000 are race pads.

Some helpful pad info on ferrodo's website;

MRC use the 3000 on the road, they work well with the 8 pots, Chef ask Doug about that setup.

I'm using XP20(http://www.ctbrakes.com/brake-compounds.asp#2) on my CQ for trackday use. Works Perfect, but can be a bit hard on discs if they are on the small side. With 330mm Cayenne discs I get heat cracks when really trashed for a weekend

Thats an awesome picture

[terrybullwon]

Tested the brake pressure front and rear.

Pressure is excellent, so leaves me to conclude the pads have gone off.

So i either bite the bullet and go new discs and pads then bed them together and see how i get on.

Or swap over to a more motorsport focused set up which to me seems the best option not the cheapest though.

Any how couple more good pictures

[Christophski]

I love the way your car looks and sits and those wheels too!

[europeanme]

still not gone Hi Spec/AP as you previously mentioned.....

looks awesome though chap...

wheres the "brown chair"??!!.... too much weight

[Error404]

Can you not scuff the pads up a bit, are they glazed?
What did it end up weighing mate, did you get close to the magic 1000Kg ?

The rest of the car is at that level now is it not?
