DS 2500 part number

Anyone got the part number of Ferodo DS 2500 pads for the 305mm discs on a147 GTA? I'm going to replace the warped front rotors with DBA 4000 series discs and the almost worn out pads with the 2500s. Thanks in advance.

Re: DS 2500 part number

The FDS721 partnumber is for the DS-Performance compound.

The 330mm discs use FCP1334H.

Re: DS 2500 part number

I received the new front pads and rotors today. The pads (FCP721H) are marked as Ferodo Racing. The box does not mention the pad type and is marked as "Disc Brake Pads for race use only." I'm just wondering if I got the correct pads, as my car will be spending 99.9% of its life doing normal road use. Anyone able to confirm?

Re: DS 2500 part number

The "H" on the end of the part number means they are DS2500.

As long as you read the bedding-in instructions you will be fine on the road.
