Brake pads Carbotech or Ferodo

Carbotech Brake pads

I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.

Pros: better heat tolerance, good modulation
Cons: light initial bite
Vehicle: Acura Integra
Part number: 1521

Low dust brake pads. On my F87, I use Carbotech 1521. Slight decrease in initial brake bite, significant decrease in dust.

Pros: significant decrease in dust
Cons: slight decrease in bite

Ferodo Brake pads

Ferodo ds2500 pads which are a high performance street pad which is trackable. I took it to the track today and had zero fade or brake issues. Then, I let my crazy fast instructor drive and rip the shit out of the car for 20 min straight. By the end of the round, the brakes were smoking. But still, no fade, and those weren’t even track only pads.

Pros: high performance, trackable, zero fade

I track a WRX and have used XP12's in the front and XP10's in the rear. They work very well. IMO Carbotechs are one of the best for the track

Pros: work very well, one of the best
Vehicle: Subaru

I've been using the DS1.11 this year, and they've been fantastic. I have about 12 or so track days on them and still have some life.

Pros: fantastic, good life

Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.

Pros: feel good
Cons: less longevity, more dust

I use carbotech xp8s. Dtc 60 or 70s would also be a good choice. Be warned through track pads driven on the street will accelerate rotor wear. I hated the Ferodo ds2500s when cold.

Cons: accelerates rotor wear
