About this part
What you need to know
The DS2500 is the benchmark fast-road and light-track compound — the pad most enthusiasts reach for first. It delivers a high, consistent friction level from cold with a progressive, road-car pedal feel, then holds up to repeated hard stops on a canyon run or an HPDE lapping day. Low rotor wear and acceptable dust for a performance pad make it genuinely streetable, unlike a dedicated race compound.
If you want one pad that does 90% of street driving and the occasional track day without compromising bite or modulation, this is it.
