Also our stock pads (09/10 + for me) are garbage, I can do only 3 laps before they start fading.
Ferodo DS2500 fills all the pitfalls of the HP+ with excellent cold bite and consistent brake torque until its MOT(maximum operating temperature). And does it with minimum to no noise(when properly burnished) and does not wear rotors are prematurely.
