I am going to get the DS2500 for now since I've had really good experiences with them before and I'm gonna order some dedicated track pads once I figure out what is least likely to chew up the rotors. Part of the issue with the Brembo's is they have really only three manufacturers that sell pads for that caliper. Hawk, Ferodo, and CL. The Hawk's are the least expensive at like 360-370 for the pair and they go up from there. If you believe the marketing stuff the track pads from CL are suppose to last much, much longer, but I'd rather try and find someone who has used them before I shell out 5 bills for a pair of pads.
I'm hopeful that the pads will turn them from good to great. I guess we shall see.

Hawks are cheaper, but are really harsh on rotors. I would pick replacing pads over rotors any day. Did use the DTC-70/60 pads once, will probably never use them again. They were great for one day. Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of pad left, but there were vibrations, fade, and really hard to modulate after that day.
