The Ferodo DS2500 is the same compound that is shipped in Brembo Big Brake Kits. Ferodo makes it for Brembo as a private label, and Brembo calls it the FM1000. There's a lot of debate about this on various forums, but it is the same. Brembo reps will tell you otherwise, because they charge a lot more $ for their version of the pad and want you buying from them!

Not to show anyone up, but the friend I mentioned is a personal friend of mine. He is also the Cheif Engineer at Brembo USA and has no reason to lie to me. If he says it's different I believe him.

Also RCZ is saying in his opinion the 2500 Isn't that great on the track. I probably don't push as hard, but on lapping days at both Button Willow and CA Speedway I never had a single brake issue with the pads I ran that came with the Brembo kit. They were awesome.
