Brake pads Brembo or Ferodo
Get brembo disk as well as ive noticed only pads on other disc are okay but with brembo disc and pads they have amazing stopping power i only had them installed 5 days ago im shoocked how good the brakes have become!
Compared to my old pads, which felt very mushy and all or nothing, the brembos are extremely linear but also stop a lot better, and more consistently. They aren't going to make your car an f1 car but they are excellent and what they need to do and be.
Brembo are decent in all honesty ive had them on all my cars bar 1. My nismo comes with them as standard so i just keep em on. They do a damn good job at stopping,
If got the brembo pads and discs on for about 2 months now. They are good enough for the daily driving. Brake dust still a bitch
I just snagged some brembo pads rotors from fcp and saved myself almost 50% compared to dealer pricing AT MY COST, and the brembos are also an upgrade. Oh did I mention they have lifetime warranty?
Now I have a 19 R DSG, and I've tracked it twice (Summit Point and VIR) with nothing more than new rotors, Ferodo brake pads and Motul 500 fluid. I never had any overheating issues with either the brakes or the oil, but both weekends were cooler weather.
I’d recommend DS2500’s. They are a bit noisy for everyday but the performance is worth it. Nice and predictable feel
SOLVED - I simply overheated the pads. Spoke to Ferodo and I followed their advice: Bed in was fine. Overheating led to pad material bake to the rotors. 120 grit block sanding on the rotors removed this. Pads were a little glazed but 80 grit sanding removed the shiny bits. Bed in again and running well but haven’t pushed it yet so unsure if the pads are done.
I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.
For breaks, I will actually advise against the OEM stuff, because it’s really not that great, especially if you have the Brembo package. There are significantly better pads out there, the Brembo ones are hot garbage.
