Default Ferodo pads for the S8- source

I found the Ferodo DS2500 brake Pads <a href="http://www.raceshopper.com/ferodo_brake_pads.shtml"> Here </a>.

Talk to Edwin Robinson- he was very good to deal with. He had both fronts and rears, and I strongly recommend replacing all four corners at the same time to maintain brake balance.

Default Ditto. I have never taken them off since Mid-Ohio 2005. Got used to the squealing.

Pads and discs are still as new. Mid-Ohio 2005. Woaw! Time flies!!!!

Skiracer: the squealing gets worse when the weather gets warmer is my experience.

How "bad" is the squealing? Slight or wake up the neighbors?

Default Super Doug - thanks so much for the drudging drudgery. $133 f / $80 r, by pairs.

Wonder if they'd knock a few clams off for GB?

Mark, you're on it. I'm about to hurl so no go here (damn bug running rampany up here).

Report back.

Thanks again Doug.

Default Perhaps my F/R slotted rotors keep the pads glaze free, but ...

Mine have never squealed at all.

The Pagid Orange is a track pad that normally sounds like a scalded cat when cold, but I've also used it in the rear as a street pad squeal-free. I think the difference is likely due to the slotted rotors.

Default Gee thanks. ***UPDATE*** they DID just reply back about GP pricing pls read:

Here's Raceshopper.com's quote:

&lt;&lt;&lt;Minimum quantity for any further discount is 20 axle sets. This can be
combined anyway you like (15 front - 5 rear ...), and they do not have
to be all the same part#s.&gt;&gt;&gt;

Are there TEN (10) us here interested in doing F&amp;R DS2500's to acheive (unquantified at this time) price break?

Please chime in accordingly.

Ideally I'll have these ordered for a 3/1 arrival - in one iteration or another (F/R, F only), with the rotors Mark / Doug reference in the related post running here.

I'm betting it's a stretch, and is likely only like $5 off or something who knows.

Bueller?
