I want to fit some new pads to my 320 sometime soon. I like DS2500s but paying over £100 8O is sticking in my throat a little, although I will if there's nothing else!


What other pads do people recommend, please? The usage will be mainly road, with some trackdays thrown in once I get everything else sorted out.


Thanks :)

i use the Mintex Extreme pads and they performed quite well at cadwell , i was told my discs were starting to glow a bit 8O but still had no fade and i think they were about £45

Pagid Fast Roads...squeels and some dust but otherwise stops well after 1st application to heat them up.

Not sure abt durability as I do seem to have some bonding issues.....metal to pad friction material showing small cracks but thankfully on trailing edge ends. ( & surprisingly only the outside pair of pads on the fronts ) ANYONE HAS THE SAME ISSUE?

Ferodo I heard are tops.
