Default Has anyone compared BHP XPS pads with Ferodo DS2500's?

I've used the BHP XPS's on my boxster calipers and have been pretty happy with them. Nice feel, good stopping power, used up about 50% of their life in 5 track days. They dust A LOT, but they've been good pads.

I'm installing Stoptech's soon (they're in my basement, but since they are a christmas gift from my wife, I can't install them yet). I'm planning on going with the DS2500's in the rear, but can't decide between matching the DS2500 in the front or going with the BHP XPS's.

Thanks,
Dan

Default Will be selling the Boxster setup, Early january I guess.

It's basically the Stage 2 V1 setup, but it's not from ECS. Red painted calipers with speedbleeders, stainless steel lines, PureMS mounting brackets, one set of BHP XPS pads 50% worn, one set of Brembo pads 50% worn, New dust boots for all pistons (not installed), those pad damper thingys that ECS sells (not installed), and 4 "porsche" logo vinyls (from when I painted them).

Default i'm very interested, keep me in mind!

i like the fact that they aren't ECS. looks like they are repainted, don't care, i'll probably repaint them again stealth black.

Default The DS2500s are great on my Stasis 14".

had gone thru 2 sets of SBS pads and now have these. not too bad on dust, great initial bite, great pad feel. previously loved these pads on my stock brakes that had a few track days on them and they lasted forever!!!

Default Yeah, I painted them with the G2 caliper paint and then put new "porsche" logo's on them.

Base model boxster calipers are black, these aren't "S" calipers
