Corolla Sportivo with Ferodo DS2500?

[King Young]

So my TRD black series pads are f*cked, time to find a replacement. After some research, the Ferodo DS2500 seems to be one of the better street with the possible track pads. I've looked around for the part number, the closest I've reached is the "FCP1528H" from SD's "ZZT231 Part Numbers". Can anyone confirm on these?

Also, any other recommendations for a good street/track pad?

That part number is not a genuine Ferodo part number from memory. You need to contact Competition Friction if you want any of the good Ferodo compounds. They are cut down from a larger pad if I remember correctly.

part number is indeed FCP1528H

I have them in my car on sportivo calipers.

Purchased off the shelf from Race Brakes Sydney.

I had them on my sportivo for 2 years.

Pro

Excellent braking

Handled track no worries, big time improvement (read nearly a second)

Cons

The dirtiest SOB pads you could imagine

I won't be getting them again

Sweet as. Only 1 number for both front and rear? I'll definitely give them a call, not easy to find places that can get them.

That's alright, I can deal with cleaning. . TRDs' are pretty dirty too, but they died after 10,000Km with 1 track day. Maybe I just brake too much. :P

Stickers on the boxes say:

REAR:

A.1.RM 0263"

An email to Greg at GSL will clear things up in no time. Last time I checked GSL were replacing the HPX pads with a new model, but the A1RM was still current...I think.
