So I have some Ferrodo 2500s laying around from my Evo that I had a few years ago. Does anyone know if they are the same pads? This is just me being lazy and not taking the stock ones out to compare. They still have huge amounts of pad left so I would like to use them up.

I believe the pas shapes are same both fr & rr.
At least that's what Pagid's info on pad shape: FF#2487, RR#1587.
Rear is also same for 350Z.
But I remember someone at Nasioc posted long ago that front Evo pads are thicker when new.

So if your pads are used you should be alright.
Worst comes to worst you may not be able to use the OE shims.

Search around when you have time.

Cheers.

How do you like the DS2500.
I have been using Pagid 421 but wanted to try the cheaper DS2500.

Yes and no. The plates/shapes are the same but the new thickness differs. I don't recall which was thicker, but if the pads fit then your golden.

Evo pads are a bit thicker but they will work. Most pad manufacturers list the same part # for STi and Evo pads.

I'll confirm that comment as well.

Hawk, P. Mu, Ferodo are a few that come to mind that do this.

Damn I didnt know this either or I would have taken mine off when I traded in the sti.

Good deal, I'll be using them next season once I get my new brake lines and some good fluid in there. I didn't like the noise that they made on my Evo, but this time it doesn't matter because over the winter I'll be building my car up for STU and I want some good pads. I remember that I liked the stopping power but it's been a few years and I really couldn't tell you much more about them. We'll see how I like them on the STi.
