anyone have any luck with feroddo pads? I’ve have good luck with the ds2500 in my mini cooper S, I was gonna try a ds2500 rear and ds3000 front (btw, I’m liking the e30 already, brakes are waaaay cheaper for this car) and see how it went, just wanted to know if anyone out there has tried it yet

I’ve used the DS3000 on E30 M3 J-Stock car. They have good feel and modulation but don’t have the initial bite that the hawks do. They also wear out very quickly. I went back to the Hawk HT-10s.

The e30 has a stock bias valve under the brake booster. I have used the same pads front and rear without problem, but I like 4 wheel brakes. The best brakes I have found are the Mintex 1166 compound all four corners, but if you want a little less rear, go with 1155 on the rear. Chuck
