Are NISMO brake pads worth it?

Has anybody used "Ferodo DS2500" pads?? Seem to be a bit stronger than HP + (1300F vs 1000F) and some reviews complain about the HP + noise in daily use.

All four corners Ferodo @ $348 seems reasonable

Pretty much any track capable pad I've ever tried squeals to a certain degree in street driving under light braking. So either you have to deal with it or swap pads back and forth.

Are you looking for pads for auto-x or HPDE?

The DS2500's are great for the street and some very light HPDE work, but they are NOT track pads by any means. They will fade long before 1300°F (about 1050°F). They tend to be quiet, but they do dust a bit more than average (dark colored dust).
