    Thanks for the tip!

    DS3000 are Ferodo brake pads right? Interesting remark on their website:

    "WARNING: DS3000 is NOT suitable for road use."

        Pagid RS29 all round and I'm now on my second set.

        Frankly, whilst they're good and last a very long time (discs will wear out 1st, but not by much) I will try DS2500 next time or SBS as Rob recommends above.

        RS29 are expensive and occasionally noisy. Rob's comments above are on the money.

        There are better value fast road, occasional track day pads out there.

                  I do like the DS2500 don't get me wrong but I think they seem to give off a lot of dust and I should have gone with SBS the first time but a miss heard phone call(thought the company was called something else so I couldn't get a number anywhere)I have not tried the SBS yet but I'm willing to try them,if Rob runs them I know there'll be very good and a little cheaper I think he said last time. Ds2500 have a good bite from cold but seem to take a bit to warm up and I don't drive like a girl before you start......lol
