you paid £137 right. and pagids are about £220 ?

Yup, £137 so that suggests they've gone up a bit, which as you implied is getting close to Pagid money.

42s, good for both fast road and track!

Has the DS2500 on my S1 111S Elise and I really liked them.

They are a bit cheaper than the Pagids and certainly never found them lacking (although I did not do any track days so cannot comment on repeated real hard braking).

Had a real good hard blast with them a while ago (when there was sun out there) and the limiting factor was my tyres squirming around due to extra heat rather than the brakes.

Cheers

Tom

I had the Ferodo Pads on my last car (S2)

They were recommended by Kevin (long time racer and co - owner) of Falkland Performance.

No problems or signs of wear after three KH trackdays and this years trip to SPA/Ring.

I used Mintex "fast-road" pads for a while after my standard set went back in 2000...they were better thant standard but I then switched to Pagid RS4-2 and have used those ever since. They last really well, are fine for about-town braking as required, but once a little warmed up they are tremendous. And fine for the four or so track days a year I used to do.
