As for the fronts with the 4 pot brembos, DS2500 sound good and I have heard good things about them...but they are still a compromise pad. What will a race track orientated pad give me over say a DS2500 on the track? I have heard terms like initial bite etc being very different on road compared to track pads. Any advice on a pad and why would be greatly appreciated.
I do 5 or 6 track days per year in an FG and can vouch for the Endless pads that fit my front 4 pots. PC35 work fine on the track. I change them for track days/day before as found they were too noisy/squeal day to day.

Went with the rear Territory upgrade 328mm Ventilated and recommend it as a cost effective option compared to Brembo rears.

Have used front dba400 (transferred too much heat to centre and stuffed 2 sets of front bearings). Now use lighter dba500 with alloy centre hats and recommend them. About to try the new slotted dba style rotor too.
