A few more have popped up:

Paragon has their P2/P3/R5/R7 compounds. These are made by Winmax in Japan. $334-$616 for a full set depending on compound.

Febi / Bilsten has 177660 and 177664 which are cheap over in Europe, but I don't see a US vendor yet.

In europe €250/set

By "set" I meant a front and rear axle. €500 is about $550 USD.

The US dealers all want $650+ though. I personally bought a set from Demon Tweeks who will happliy ship to the USA for reasonable prices, and bill in USD, without VAT. I got a set a few months ago for $540 shipped to my door.

I'll say the DS2500's are amazing. They bite well, and don't fade for aggressive autocross use. I had the Racing Brake XT910's before, and the DS2500's are about 10% of the dust, they're lasting longer, they have higher fade tolerance, and they don't discolor the rotors as much. Absolutely zero noise at any speed or temperature as well.

I can't imagine buying anything else for a car that is aggressively driven unless you are going to use it on a road course. There's a reason OEM's use the Ferodo compounds.
