Ferodo DS2500 installation issues

I had no trouble with the ferodo's as a daily driver, other than dusting of course.

I also DD with ferodo DS2500s without any issues. No cold braking issues or fade on the track. Was able to reuse both OEM shims with no issues. They are a bit heavy on the dust in my opinion, but it doesn't really bother me that much.

Exactly my experience:

Reused OEM Shims.

Great cold and hot bite, and fine for middling track use and driving to and from.

Overheated them once during their life and they were very thin on material at that point.

Fantastic Pads.

No issues with fitting.

They're pretty easy to overheat once you have some track experience depending on the track, butfor street and autox they're fantastic. Not bad for a couple hot laps, or lapping at 85% either.

Even at my experience level, my PMu HC+800's (same hybrid category) were overheated by lap 3 at DDT (2 kink)

I have no trouble with the DS 2500's on either lapping days or as a dd (except for the dusting). Initially I had problems at the track with overheating, but since adding RooDucts Fan Ducts, those problems are history. Night and day difference. The only other brake system mod I have is RBF 600 fluid. 40 minute sessions at 90+F are now no problem.
