Default Brembo blank + Ferodo DS2500

Just done around 1500 miles on new Brembo blank rotors all round with Ferodo DS2500 front pads and standard Brembo rear pads, ATE Blue fluid. Wow wow wow, race car feel, the brake feel is actually unbelievable for a big saloon car. I will definitely replace with same again, best brakes in a road car I've ever experienced.

Oh I see you are in Ireland. Probably hard to get just Brembo rotors in us without the complete kit.

I got the Brembo stuff from an AP store website, Customer Login AP Motor Store I'm sure the same parts must be available globally, they weren't that expensive. The Ferdodo stuff gotta be available anywhere.

This set up kills, from what I could read up on it over here, the DS2500 is really easy on rotors too. A little noise in town but it's so worth it when you get them warmed up. Not that dusty either, a bit less that the OEM pads that were on the car when I got it. I've been used to ceramic pads for the past 3 years and I still don't think these are too bad, and it seems easy to clean off.

Bavarian Autosport has replacement Brembo rotors in their Spring 2014 catalog but I cannot find them on their website so you will have to call them. Good luck.

how's the dusting with those pads? I had Ferodo pads on my E30 once, and I was cleaning my wheels every weekend.
