The Ferodo DS2500  is currently the best hybrid track/street pad on the market.   It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad.  When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms.  During aggressive driving the DS2500 is known for its flat torque curve, which means as temperatures go up, the response through the brake pedal remains consistent.  If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autoX, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is impossible to beat.

When used on fast, heavy cars on the track with race tires, pad wear rates tend to be higher than some of the full track pad compounds.  Under those conditions, Touge Tuning would recommend the Ferodo DS3000 or DS1.11.

The main characteristics of DS2500 are:

• Consistent coefficient of friction (0,42) at all temperatures
• Low noise
• low dusting
• Long pad life
• Kind on discs
• Race pedal fee

This new generation of friction material is very low in compressibility ensuring a firm pedal, whilst still providing great life for both disc and pad. Combined with low wheel dusting and good noise characteristics this product is the brake pad for the driver who demands the ultimate in track day braking performance.
