HC+800 pads dust like crazy. Nice performance though. I ran those on street and track. Now for street I run PMU N400 (Type NS).

They wore out my RB rotors as fast as the pads wore out. Too pricey for street use, and next to impossible to keep a transfer layer on them with street driving. I loved the feel, but replacing rotors and pads in a relatively short time didn't work for me.

Did Project Mu NS400 get discontinued? If so, which is the replacement. Is just called Type NS now?

Speedfreaks has NS PSF160
Mod in Japan PSF960

Are these both the same?

NS400 was discontinued so it's just Type NS available now.

As for the pad shapes both will work - F160 was the original shape Project Mu made specifically for the front of the IS-F but essentially the same shape is being used on the front of the 2018+ Subaru WRX STi so Project Mu rolled them all into the F960 shape.

Hi Matt @SpeedFreaksUSA
Any chance to look into getting the rear Ferodo DS2500 produced?

It's been about year since I've last pushed the idea so I'll try again. Last time I asked they said no chance for a new pad shape production run as they were still struggling to get caught up on backorders.

The front brake pads cross references with a few other cars like the 2018+ Subaru WRX STI, certain models of the Ford Mustangs, etc....

The rear, I cannot find any. Is the rear brake pads shape unique ONLY to the Lexus ISF?
