The Ferodo's are great (I've been using the DS3000's on the front and DS2500's on the back of my Mini Cooper S) but leave a lot of black crap on your wheels. I'll wait to hear more from folks who've been tracking the Elise, but so far it sounds like the OEM pads are fine, even on track.MyElise said:Has anybody tried the Ferodo DS2500 pads on the Elise? I've experienced good performance with these pads on slightly heavier cars.
