Brake pads Ferodo or Bendix

Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.

Brake pad? Bendix

DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.

Gt4 brake pads ran me about 1000-1100 for ferodo ds3.12.

Bendix premium pads will be fine paired with better rotors you will get a good performance increase , you can look into other brands etc but again no real point in going to far on pads unless its a track car all your doing is 3x the price for very small gain and sometimes a loss as normal street driving will not put enough heat into the pads to get them to operational temp making it dangerous for normal use, also excess brake dust and annoying squeal

Ferrodo DS2500 is probably the best dual duty pad.

I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.

I daily and autox ferodo ds2500, pretty happy with them, more dust and noise than an oem pad but can withstand light track work. Doesn’t sound like an awful bus/train but the occasional squeak happens.

The brand Bendix had confused warnings on their brake pad boxes.

Garbage in short.

Will not ever touch another Bendix product after my last pad install with them.
