The DS2500 compound brake pad is designed for high performance applications in either the MINI Cooper or MINI Cooper S thanks to its excellent speed and temperature sensitivity characteristics.
Features include:
+ Race developed
+ Performs equally well on heavy and light cars
+ 20% less pad wear than competitive products
+ Minimal bedding-in, supplied ready to use
+ Disc Friendly
+ Consistent friction level with changing temperatures and speeds to give optimal pedal modulation
+ High friction level at low temperature (good cold braking)
+ High friction level at very high temperatures
+ 35% less compressability than competitive products (pedal feel)
+ Less noise for increased driving comfort
+ Fits all models '03 and earlier
Ferodo DS2500 is a club race pad that can be used on the street and for light track use. This compound produces some noise on the street, but retains good cold friction, and has an MOT of around 1,000 degrees F. It also has 35% less compressibility than competitive products, giving it very good pedal feel and modulation characteristics. DS2500 has an average friction level of approximately (0.50) which remains constant at any speed, and at any temperature up to 1,000° F.
Follow manufacturers bed-in procedure for proper operation.
If your brake wear warning light is illumninated, see replacement sensors.
MINI recommends the brake fluid be replaced every 2 years, more often if you track your car. See ATE Super Blue for replacement brake fluid. ATE Super Blue is a high quality performance fluid that will last much longer than the standard DOT4 fluid. This is an ABS friendly fluid.
