Brake pads Ferodo or Bendix

Ferodo DS2500 (street/track)-$290.00

For track purposes, I upgraded my rotors to stoptech slotted, pads to ferodo 2500, steel lines, and rbf600 fluid. Gets the job done, and stays consistent over the course of a typical track day. The braking power/feel is not much greater over the stock rotor/pads combo, but holds up better to the heat (those OEM pads do like to melt, if abused).

I also run Motul RBF600 fluid and Ferodo DS2500. I use my R as DD (~13K miles/year) and about 10 track days per year. Setup is fine for both and I recommend it as a good setup for your situation.

I typically run RBF600 with Ferodo DS2500, changed at the beginning of spring and after each HPDE (back to OEM brake fluid in the winter). Massive improvement over the stock for sure, but at the end of a 2 day track weekend the pedal will be on the softer side, which improves after brake flush.

I have had good success with Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear, OEM rotors, and RBF600 (or equivalent) brake fluid. The Ferodo pads were fine to use for the street (no noise, normal dust, and seem reasonably rotor friendly) and competent on the track.

Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.

Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.

Ds2500 are at least oem dust level from what I've heard but better performance and they do squeak a bit.

I think my DS2500s were a good bit dustier than stock

I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.
