Ds 2500 or rs-29's

[Das Chin]

agreed with graham. Ds 2500 are fine for a sub 1 tonne car but not up to job of a csl.

they will leave deposits on discs so causes juddering, they get too hot and they they crack so are junk basically.

seems like a cheap thing to do up front but not once the pads have cracked half way through their life n trashed your discs.

the only other pad i would look at is HAWK. Cambridge motorsport have a good range and they have a good range of pad shapes and compounds. A lot of the race bmw boys use them.

Cheers. A full set of RS-29's have been ordered from trackm3, I'm looking forward to trying them out :smokin:

cool. I was going to PM you about Martin as he is a top bloke and always does good prices. that's where I will be going for my next set. just up the road at brands too from me.

I agree, that's a massive difference in price he's just saved me :thumbs:

DS2500 ruin discs. Better to go for the more expensive RS29 and have useable discs at the end of it.

+1 :thumbs:

I've had 2500 for road and track, never had an issue with their track performance - yes they do crack discs if they are heated up too fast, but I've never had them fade. They don't last as long as the pagid, but they are half the price, and I like the bite feel near the limit - they still have a delicate touch under foot whereas I found pagids needed a good shove.
It just depends on personal preference and I guess the DS suit me, I've raced tin tops for nearly 20 years and always used DS3000 without any issues, so I could be a bit biased towards the brand.

i like the ds3000 range, imo good pads work well on my little z4m.
