Wouldn't something like m4 fitment ds2500s suit a road car which might see the occasional track evening for lols?
DS2500s are the crappiest pads you could possibly fit to a heavy car (anything over 1400kg) as they will overheat, melt and leave deposits on the discs that will (if not removed) cause the discs to warp.

Edited as I realise I didn't specify if used on track :oops:

Nordschleife, there's only two barriers to worry about - the ones on the left and the ones on the right :lol: .

But it was suggested that they might be okay for the occasional track day, which they or not (unless you don't like discs :P ) :lol:
