Thanks Chris.
And yes I read throught the material and was looking at the DS2000 .... I
just want street application but thought I would look for updated products
out there .... This is afterall a hobby (and other than skiing in the winter
there is quite a bit of "down time" here in Idaho) ... The same types of
products are available with EBC .. They have race and rally appplications
similar to Ferodo (and incidentally compare their prodyct to Ferodo).. Their
"Green" pad is the street application... Both the Ferodo DS2000 and the EBC
green claim better stopping and less dust ... We'll see where this goes ...
Thanks Again.
Jim Sailer

Hi Jim,
I've run both the Ferodo DS3000 and 4003 pads
http://www.ferodo.co.uk/ferodo_home/motorsports.html which are both
available for the BJ8 caliper.
They are excellent at high temperatures (i.e. on the track) - neither are
very good on the road when cold, and both leave an incredible amount of dust
on the wheels
Look at the top pic here

Be aware that the literature on the DS3000 states specifically that they are
not for road use.
I haven't tried the DS2000 pads. I just use normal road pads on the road
these days.
Denis Welch sells all 3 of these Ferodo pads

Correct bedding in is absolutely imperative with these types of pads.
Best
