Brake pads ATE or Ferodo

Stock calipers with ferodo ds11.1 pads

I paid 800 all in for tarox front and rear dics and ferodo pads on my f10 535d and fitted it myself in a day..

ATE make low dust pads that don’t need warming up like previous ceramic pads. I have them on my MK5 and they are great. Don’t have that annoying instant bite that stock pads do. Also they go forever

I run DS3.12 now and ran DS1.11 on my previous car on track and love them (better then PFC-08)

My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.

Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.

Using ATE rotors and ceramic pads on my mk6. Very little dust. Still has very good bite compared to other standard OEM pads.

The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.

I did tons of research and settled on Ferodo DS3.12 (FCP4425G) in front and DS1.11 (FCP4697W) rear with Castrol SRF fluid. Stock R calipers and rotors have held up as well as any aftermarkets I read about for MUCH less $. Zero issues, and cheap.

I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 987 Cayman. They are a good pad for street/track duty and it seems they come recommended on the forums. Just remember a dual purpose pads are okay for street and track, but not great in either.
