Are they quiet enough for road use? I hadn't realised, so yes I'd up the 2500 to the 1.11's as well.

They haven't the anti rattle ears of the OE pads so they rattle once when cold and then not at all.
They sometimes produce a light screech in town in the last rotations of the wheel but even that can be avoided by braking a little harder and then coast. It's a faint noise from inside the car anyway given the decent NVH but not sure how loud it is from the outside.

Do you run them on both axles?

I thought I would have to or at least upgrade the rears to DS2500. But so far no massive imbalance between the axles even on maximum retardation. I think the M OE pads actually have a decent friction coefficient and the stiff rear end helps minimise longitudinal weight transfer so the car doesn't particularly feel on the nose nor have I seen any exacerbated front wear so far.
