brake pad question? different shape

[koosh]

thanks for the heads up! i had heard many a good thing about the DS2500 pads and came highly recomended from a friend of mines. even in scotland where its cold as hell they are said to be about the best out there! but i shall take note and be very careful with them!
and so long as i know they will still be fine despite being a different shape then thats all good for me!

They will stop ya no worries there, far better than the OEM stuff (yes your mate is right), however you are not going to benefit from the initial bite in cold weather which in required in most braking emergencies e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, pets, etc...

The steel heats up twice faster than the pad. Should be at the same rate really. That is the problem with them during cold weather :/ sux . I'm on the dusty ones for a few more months and then swapping back to the ceramic pads indeed

As long as you are aware then you should be just fine

What makes you day they're no good for the street? Ferodo rates them "good from cold" , with a consistant Coefficient of friction from 20-500° C. There is also many favorable reviews for use on the street and moderate track days.
