Yes. I try to find for my S8, but one seller said that. I know that there many places where I can
buy in US.
Also some confusion about art#.
I suppose FCP891 for front and FCP596 for rear for S8 euro spec with Brembo caliper.

The DS2500 is still listed on the Ferodo web site.
Since my last visit to this site, they do list two new compounds, the DS1.11 and DS2.11. Both are ceramic pads, and the DS1.11 has a coefficient of friction similar to the DS2500. Perhaps your vendor is calling this the "DS Performance", though unlike the DS2500, Ferodo warns that the <i>DS1.11 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ROAD USE</i>.

For all D2 A8/S8's, the rear is the FCP541H.
I don't believe there's a difference between U.S. and Euro spec cars. The letter at the end specifies the compound.
H = DS2500
R = DS3000
L = DS3000 Plus
E = DS3000 Endurance
W = DS1.11
X = DS2.11
Since my S8 uses Alcon calipers in the front, I don't know the part number for the Brembo caliper.

It looks like FCP596H & FCP541H quite similar.
Ironicaly all rear brake same on A8/S8 (except armour vehicle) and another brands has no differencies in pads.<ul><li><a href="http://www.gundersenmotorsport.com/FERODO.htm">here complete list of ferodo pads</a></li></ul>
