J Ritt has never held a set of FM1000's and a set of DS2500's side by side.
You can physically see distinct differences in the make up of the compounds...and anyone who has gone a step further and driven with both compounds will also tell you they are definitely different.

The rumors about them being the same compound is due to the fact that when an FM1000 is not available from Brembo for a rear application, we have recommended DS2500 as having similar characteristics for people trying to run matched compounds front and rear.

Here's one of the conversations Jeff is referring to from a BMW forum...
