I like the Ferodo DS2500's in mine and copes well with enough on my car.  No warm up required.

Once had Mintex 1155's but changed when they faded badly after two laps at Knockhill. I've nevr went back to Mintex since which is a shame cause i swore by them for years up until that point.

DS2500's for me as well.................they are awesome and suit me becuase i only do the odd track day. Fine for crawling round town and immense when up to temp on a full B-road assault [<)]

I'd stay with standard discs personally, though if you really fancy something different from standard, buy a set with say 4 or 6 grooves to dissipate any excess heat if you do track and will keep the pads "clean". I wouldn't bother with "multi grooved" discs, you're not gaining anything imo. Apart from maybe looks if that's your thing.

Drilled discs dissipate the heat as well, though not as popular as grooved because you find cracks at the holes after a while. I run drilled (AP discs) and have had them for a few years without issue. They are also fitted to many cars as factory fit items i.e. Mercedes, so the general thought that they are inferior to grooved is a bit of a non starter imo.

If i fit the Ds2500's to the front should i be fitting the same kind of pads on the rear ??

If not what should i be putting on the rear ??
