Just IMO and my $0.02, YMMV...

If you're touching every brake caliper (as you should for a pre-track day shakedown) and bleeding fluid...the extra effort to swap a brake pad on BBK calipers shouldn't be a second thought.

While I realize DS2500s "should" be okay, they are far from ideal. Like anything else, I see it as a safety perspective running proper pads and not compromising.

If you think this is too much work, perhaps you should re-evaluate the hobby. Tough words to swallow, but just my opinion.
