Brake pads Bosch or Ferodo
I eventually made it out the track and was surprised how well the car performed despite worn, stock brakes and tyres. Each lap brought more and more confidence although the long straight did bring some serious speed. I saw 110mph pretty much each lap and on lap 6 or 7 on the first run the brake pedal became a bit too soft for my liking followed by a bit of smoke in the rear view mirror.
I would like them from Ferodo as well. I have them on my BRZ and they are great.
Brake job coming up this weekend. New rotors (Centric blanks, OEM size) are still in transit to my door... but here's the good stuff. Ferodo DS2500 brake pads and RBS600.
So today I put on a new pair of Bosch brake pads, flushed the brake fluid, and removed that sensor from the windshield washer reservoir. It was too easy.
I used Bosch pads and rotors when I last changed my front pads [available from Amazon.com]. 13K on the new setup with no problems - stops well, quiet, no vibrations - and the non-friction surfaces of the rotor aren't rusty.
I ran with Ferodo DS2500s. They work incredibly well for light track use (my street tires overheat before the brakes ever fade), they are dead silent, and, somehow, very low dust. They are more expensive than most other pads though and probably excessive for most people in their capabilities.
i just put on new pads and rotors, front and rear...i bought Bosch Quiet cast and 100 miles in i like them. Shims are molded to the pad and no noise at all. Stop a little better than what ever i had on there before.
front - 9.4in vented rotors ferodo ds2500 fastroad pads rear - swapped to discs mk4 calipers ferodo ds2500 fastroad pads
overhauled the brakes(all 4 corners): -calipers(rebuild) -discs(brembo) -pads (ferodo ds2500)
I did install Ferodo pads as well as the brake fluid flush at local Audi Dealership, however I do have some pulsation when I brake from higher speed. It is non existent in the city driving but on the highway my brake pedal pulsates a bit and I don't like this.
