Rating 4.0

I run audio TT front rotors (12.3 instead of 11.3), aggressive pads (ferodo DS2500) and racing brake fluid (motul rbf 600) and even on the track where you have to do some high speed stops (125-45) I havent really seen much brake fade.

Pros: little brake fade
Vehicle: Audi TT

Just when I think I've got the RK Spyder figured out, the incredibly precise steering, crushingly effective Brembo four-piston-caliper brakes deliver a thrilling driving experience that begs for a track day before I reach 4th gear.

Pros: precise steering, effective brakes
Vehicle: Porsche

I'm running OEM rotors and calipers with Ferodo DS2500 frt/Hawk HPS rear and ATE superblue fluid. The brakes held up great. But then coming out of Turn 2, I accelerate to about 90 before hitting the brakes again going on a steeper downhill to slow to about 30mph. This is where I feel a touch of fade.

Pros: brakes held up great
Cons: touch of fade

Those Brembo brakes haul the car down from silly speeds repeatedly on the track with no sign of fade or sogginess.

Pros: no sign of fade
Cons: pedal requires more shove
Vehicle: Mitsubishi

If you adjust the regulator spring too tight, or you lower the car without releasing the additional tension that put on the regulator spring, the rear wheels will lock up. If you have it adjusted really close to the limit for your rear wheels (for optimum braking) and you upgrade the rear pads to Ferodo DS2500 and keep the Mintex Red Box pads on the front axle, you might also get rear wheel lockup because the total braking force at the rear wheels increases by 50% or so with that pad upgrade, and the front doesn't get a similar increase in grip.

Pros: increased braking force
Cons: rear wheel lockup
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have the Ferrodo ds2500 pads on the front of my car, they dust like crazy!!!!!! its okay though, who cares really? dust more than stock, but the dust seems easier, as far as i can remember to remove than stock. I have mintex red box in the rear....they suck. i second the squeeking on the rear brakes w/ the redbox. The only good thing about them is the price, and that the dust is little, and light colored. You will get plenty of milage out of your ds2500 pads. Mine are about 1/2 way worn, and i've put about 15k miles on them, and trust me i do not drive easy. i've had my rotors glow several times w/ them on, and regularly have to slow down from 80mph to stop lights and such. They wear like iron. when i first got them they squeeked like crazy, then once they got about 30% worn they shut up, now they are silent. They have less cold bite than stock, but not anything alittle more pedal pressure cant take care of. once they get warm/hot they start biting more and more and more....its awesome.

Pros: wear like iron, awesome bite
Cons: dust like crazy, less cold bite
Mileage: 15000 km
