The Ferodo UK website couldn't be any clearer re the following 'Race Product Range'ferry wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 12:34 pmWorth noting that DS3000 is track only and has a warning on the website stating that it's not suitable for the road. DS2500 has no such warning on their website and I've personally had zero issues with cold friction. Even in winter. No supplier has ever flagged an issue, nor any garage or MOT centre which has been aware of their presence.Ewazix wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 11:49 amAccording to Ferodo the DS2500 is a "Track use only" pad that's not a legal ECER90 tested part, so is illegal for use on the road. I don't know if there have been prosecutions but guess it would only come 'on-top' after a serious/fatal accident once examiners get involved. At which point wilfully neglected or illegal brakes can lead to jail time. So apart from cold friction issues I'd be very wary of track pads on the road TBH.
ETA. There's also an inbetween spec, DS Performance. I've less experience of these but have found they work well on the car I used them on. I haven't had DS2500 and DS performance on the same car to make a comparison. http://www.ferodoracing.com/products/ca ... rake-pads/
ETA2. Just checking and I currently have DS2500 on a car and DS Performance on another and both have been good. If it makes a difference, both sets were fitted on new discs.

We all know no suppliers will sell you what you want and MOT garages will not be able to tell, what I'm saying is care should be taken when advising that people fit safety related parts that are not road legal. It will be no defence to say some bloke on a forum said it was OK
