Buying Ferodo DS2500 pads?

[ChrisBuer]

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm looking to buy some DS2500 pads for my car and as expected, these pads aren't listed for a 1M.

I assume therefore if I purchase a set of DS2500 pads for an E92 M3, they'll fit without any issues?

Link here to the ones I'm looking at:

Thanks

I would message Harold @ HP Autowerks to confirm. I believe he actually ran the pads on their shop 1M.

Yes, E9x M3 pads are the same as 1M.

Thanks Harold. It's a shame that I'm over the pond from you as I would have ordered these from you, but the import tax will probably be the same price as the pads!

Thanks however as it is kind of you to help.

Tim @ Circuit Supplies is the man for Ferodo and Ap Racing in the u.k,just got sorted with Ds Uno's,will be bedding them in soon,don't find the 2500 agressive enough,always used 3000 or Ds 1.11.My only option was 2500 or UNO for the 1M to have matching compound on both axles

Chris. have you considered Carbotec xp10's?
Ive got them fitted with HEL braided brake lines and AP Racing fluid and the stopping power is amazing,
I use Carbotec on all my cars and have yet to find someone who can fault them,,
Yes, the xp8's can squeek when at low temps but i rarely hear a peep out of the xp10's and combined with the brake lines and race fluid they feel uber responsive even from cold.,
Feel free to take me up on my offer of a test drive before you make your mind up.

Or give Ian a call on Tel: 01768 885 000 - Fax: 01768 894 339 - Email: sales@carbotech-europe.com

and say i sent you- I buy tons off him and had the first HEL braided brake line kit for the 1M, he should have them on the shelf and does next day delivery,
hope that Helps

cheers Jamie

Just state the declared value in the comment section when you place your order.

Was onto Ian for carbotecs as well,£100 less in the end for Ferodo's,felt impressive pads as well to be fair,tried them on a few Evos I've worked on,always worked the Ferodo ds3000 or 1.11 on my own cars,road and track.

Ian has done well promoting his pads on the MLR

I've often said to people considering buying the AP brake kit that - an Evo running decent discs,brake fluid and Carbotec pads with the standard Brembos would out brake an AP Kit with AP pads easily-(having had both).
obviously if you then put carbotec pads in the AP kit then you'l be on another level lol.

For me i'd happily pay the extra £ for the best.

Ive always been so impressed with the Carbotec range and Ian has always been so great to deal with- quick to dispatch, helpful on the phone and once even hand Delivered pads to the nurburgring for me. Admittedly he was on his way there himself but still i thought it was pretty decent of him lol.
