I've been using the Ferodo DS2500 and love em but they are expensive.
I keep reading that I'm going to have to move to DS3000 for the track but so far the DS2500 have worked well. I'm only a B group driver on stage 1 power and 225 summer tires. I plan to NOT go to r-comps and will stay at this power level.

I'm a fan of both the Axxis and Stoptech's. They're very similar pads all around and work great for agressive daily drivers as well as light track use.

DS2500's are a much more desirable mild/semi-agressive track pad
SP's are a DD w/ light track use pad (by no means mild/agressive)
my $0.02

All of these other posts are far more on topic than mine... ;-)
Cheers, Bill
I couldn't agree more that these are race pads and not intended for street! Although I love them on the street (great bite) I change them out (pads and rotors) as soon as I can get around to it after an event.

How much are you asking? This is for the 4/2 pot setup on the 06WRX?

, but i absolutely LOVE these DS2500's. even for daily use they are awesome, but slightly overkill, which is why i ended up with the stoptechs.

The brake pads are only going to be used for DD as stated in the earlier post.
To the OP, there are axxis ultimate pads on there already. FYI!
