Well the time has come to change the front brakes again. I had ebc eliptically grooved discs and ds2500 pads but there very worn now after 4yrs use. I've just bought a set of new ebc turbo grooved discs from a guy on ed38 at a very good price so it's pads time.

I don't know whether to use the ds2500 pads again or try something new.

Anyone else got other opinions???

Well DS2500 are out of the question then! I had them on my LCR, seriously the best thing about the car. I've had XP8's and PF11's on my Evo and they're not a patch on the DS2500's

If you did then you'd get the DS3000's.

I used to have an evo then I get the vxr then the MK5 r32 then back to the LCR

I think i'm just gonna stick with the ds2500s.

Thats one thing I never had problems with on my Evo, brake squeel. I had the standard brembo discs with red stuff pads.
