              Does anyone have the part number for DS2500 for Boxster 'S' calipers? Also, what's the latest update on the cheapest supplier? Will probably ring Circuit supplies, but is there anyone cheaper? I'm guessing they'll be about £150 delivered.

              Thanks

                  Nah, get the DS2500's. I'll be fitting those to my RS2 shortly. Can't wait to get rid of the Redstuff/Greenstuff combination that the previous owner put on the car, they are junk, to put it mildly.

                    DS2500 sounds like a robot.

                      Just got some DS2500s, they're a little flat from old but soon warm to the occasion. Got mine off Corey for an absolute steal (also for 996 Boxster S callipers). Textars are fine for road use but run out of balls on the track but at £45 a pair they're at least half price over the Ds2500s.

                        Apologies to highjack the thread.....I'm looking at new pads soon. No track days, just for road use.

                        What is recommended for normal use? I don't hammer the corners and hit the brakes hard. I'm guessing budget are something like Jurid at £94.00 for the set upto DS2500's?

                        Advice please.

                          Jurid at 94 pound sounds too steep. What do textar's cost? They porsche OEM's, and proven to be good for street (but not for the track).
