Default Stasis recommends DS2500's for the rear - it's what came with my kit
no problems so far - except that I need to be more gentle on the brakes :-)

Default It's what I'm running....>>
Seems to require a fairly frequent Run in the wet to clean the pad transfer lumpiness off. Only thing I don't like..(and the dust)
