Rating 4.5

I use the Ferodo DS2500. I track my car several times a year, but it’s also a daily driver in New England winters.Been very impressed with these pads as they are absolutely silent and still bite in the cold. The only noise they make is a clunk when changing direction front to back (like reversing, then going forward again).Dust isn’t any worse than OEM, may possibly be better actually.If you don’t really care about better performance, find a ceramic pad like PosiQuiet.

Pros: silent, good cold bite, low dust
Cons: clunk when changing direction

Ferodo Brake pads

A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.

Pros: great brakes, competent tuning

For my 987 the pagids would squeal the most. PFC08 weren’t as bad with similar performance. If you want a hybrid street/track pad that will be pretty quiet on the street (as long as you bed properly) the Ferodo DS2500 is not bad, just be aware if you’re tracking on them at a good pace under heavy braking they can wear quickly. I ran them at the glen and was able to get maybe 3 good days out of a set.

Pros: quiet on street, good performance
Cons: wears quickly under heavy braking

Ferodo Brake pads

I put some Ferodo DS2500s for a HPDE event at the end of July and noticed discoloration and crumbling on the edges. Swapped them out with PFC08s for this weekend’s HPDE and noticed chunks of material missing from the inner of the pad.

Cons: discoloration, crumbling, chunks missing
