Love my 2500'S 
Get used to cleaning your wheels though 
I didnt bother with the rbf whats you ma call it fluid as apparenty it needs changing often and was about £30 for the amount I needed.
I just switched to 5.1 and changing it more often 
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Yeh DS2500's are fucking brilliant... I laugh at anyone who fits big expensive brakes!
For track day / road use - DS2500's stop brilliantly. It's the only upgrade I'll get brake wise for s2000.

I'm not sure I want to go for 5.1 as its silicone based and as you say will need changing more often

I feel for you 
Plus side it used/still does hold the record for the most amount of pubs in a town centre high street, or something like that.
Doesn't make it any good though.
