yvesmontreal: Most pads I have bought they actuallt recommend braking them in at the track... Start slow and work up the speed progressively and finish with a coulpe of laps at full speed (with a couple of cool down lap before pit-in naturally)

Personally I don't like the DS2500, they lack the bite I have in the Pagid pads on the 75. Works but lacks the feeling and bite, quite annoying when the vacuum booster disappears after driving HARD...

I also recommend the Porterfield R4S carbon kevlar pads. The advantage over carbon metallic is that the kevlar is very rotor friendly. I use these for autocross and track events with great results.

So why not get the DS3000 instead?

I really like the DS3000 pads..I've got a set in my racing Sud

....might be a bit much for everyday use though !!

My GTV6 sees no track days so what I want is a pad that is quiet ( unlike the present
8 little piglets ). Can anyone recommend a good QUIET pad? Alfa original equipment maybe?
