For track work the Ferodo isn't the best apparently, but for fast road they are meant to be a good pad

I haven't used the DS2500 compound, but I'm not that heavy on the brakes on my stage2+ ed30.
I'm running ferodo fast road pads (one grade below DS2500) with standard discs and motul rb600 fluid which works perfectly for me.

Pagids are good and reasonably priced.
