FERODO DS2500 = $255
As seen in the graph, the DS2500 material has a friction level of approximatively 0.50 which remains constant at any speed and at any temperature that the brake system is working at.
The DS2500 compound is designed for racing applications thanks to its excellent speed and temperature sensitivity characteristics but it can also be used for fast road use, being a popular choice of owners of high performance cars such as Imprezas.
The main characteristics of DS2500 are:
Race developed
Performs equally well on heavy and light cars
20% less pad wear than competitive products
Minimal bedding-in. Supplied ready to use
Disc friendly
Consistent friction level with changing temperatures and speeds to give optimal pedal modulation
High friction level at low temperature (good cold braking)
High friction level at very high temperatures
35% less compressibility than competitive products (racing pedal feel)
Less noise for increased driving comfort

Carbotech Panther Plus = $315
The Panther Plus compound is good for AutoX or moderate track use. It can be used on the street. However, with an aggressive compound like this, dust and noise can be expected. The Mu is 0.54-0.56 with a temp range of about 150-1250F.
