Ds2500 pads are awesome on track, but they are dusty and I think they eat the paint on the wheels, unless it's just ground brake disc mixed with the pad eating my clio wheels, so keep an eye on them
Can't be any worse than what's on it, even after just a week of commuting my wheels are black

Cracker pads have them myself but as Marc said they get very dusty ;( but sure gives you a excuse to wash the motor every week lol
Car looking great mate always fancied 1 of these

Got most of the parts I wanted fitted, DS2500's didn't have wear sensors, so I sent them back and got EBC Red Stuff delivered today
Onto the Timing belt and water pump, crappy aftermarket one was leaking, and for a while by the looks of it (check out that hardened gloop of coolant)
all that needed to be done for MOT was the drivers track rod end
and it passed even with my "illegally loud" exhaust (I'm sure some saw the video)
unfortunately not even a week after MOT my clutch pedal dropped to the floor, suspected slave cylinder, this meant the new clutch and flywheel had to be purchased, a bit earlier than I had planned, turns out a seal inside the gearbox was putting oil on the clutch, making it slip
Clutch had seen better days anyway, I don't think it's ever been changed, so not bad for the miles considering the power it's putting through it
Got the car back today after all this and a Clutch master cylinder (actual reason for the pedal on the floor) and it's driving great, pleasantly surprised with how light and easy the Stage 2 Kevlar clutch is to drive on with the soild flywheel. now to take iot easy on it for a bit as the clutch has a recommended running in period of 1000 miles, I previously ordered a "Sachs SMF kit" off eBay, but only the clutch plate wash Sachs so I sent it back.
