I am not sure what pads are on my 2500S, but they are ten times better than
the previous set which were made by ... LUCAS!!!
The Lucas pads were dreadful, they squealed despite all my best efforts to
stop them doing so, they wore quickly, they left unsightly dust, they faded
quickly and their performance in general was dreadful - these new pads do
none of that... I think they were made in Canada - brand name Mintex?
