I'll never use another pad, nothing compares.
£140 for my car but worth every penny. Can't put a price on being able to stop. And they don't dissapoint.

Carbotec XP8's or XP10s are good too.
XP8 is like the Ferrodo DS2500
XP10 is like the DS3000

The Evo forum really really rate those carbotec pads. But i'll stick to DS2500 as ive had experience with them and was over the moon with them

Oh really? Have you found any major differences between them? Ive had the front discs glowing and they still stopped me with no fade what so ever. Ive found DS2500 for £150 for my Evo7.

Always a big fan of the ds2500, sell loads of them! Also sell Performance Friction pads, they are good, but prefer the 2500 as an alrounder.
U2U me what your after, ill make sure you get a good price!!

Oh I also used these pads on my V6 setup, worked really well! Have used ebc in the past, rather run std pads if I'm honest!

we used DS2500 as a road/track pad.... no fade ever with them. We had DS3000's for a while but found them very rough on discs, and noisy.
XP8's were great on the Impreza. XP10's are very good on the Skyline.
