David,

I don't know if DS11 material is still around, but if you use it be careful.
Used it for quite a few years, with nisan "green stuff" in the rear.  The DS
11 only works well when it gets hot. For the limited  times I drove on the
street with it, the first stop or 2 was real exciting, like zero friction,
then maybe one pad would catch and you had to be ready for some quick steering
corrections! Easy to wind up 10 feet past a stop sign facing the wrong way.
But... on the track, they were great.  I would think that so many years (at
least 35 - 40)  after its development, there should be many newer compounds
that can handle both street and autocrossing .
