Brake pads Bosch or Ferodo
Bosch pads and rotors have been nice.
Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).
I used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.
I’ve used them for brake pads, rotors, and spark plugs. I haven’t had a problem with them.
On my car, smooth and quiet, no problems.
I've never used their rotors, but I liked the Quietcast pads when I had them, I never noticed any sound from them.
Depends on which Bosch part specifically.
Bosch brake parts are fine.
DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.
Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.
I hated Ferodo DS2500 on the street. Because they need to be warm to perform. And if I am driving on a highway for couple minutes or through a city, they loose the heat and perform badly for a bit.
