Brake pads Ferodo or ENDLESS

I just put on some Endless MX72s. But they are for performance street and occasional track use. And they are not cheaper or probably less noise. But I do expect a great deal better wear with them than stock.

For \~$250, the Ferodo DS2500's are a great pad for dual street/spirited and light/medium track use.With any semi-metallic pad, you're going to have dust. You can't really substantially reduce dusting without going to something like ceramic pads, which then frictional force is compromised.

Not cheap, but Endless makes perfect street pads that last a long time, are quiet, very little dust, good cold bite, and high coefficient of friction and heat range.

The heat resistance is much better than the stock pads, so it'd take a lot more to make these pads fade. They are more durable as well at least according to my experience. The only issues are that when it's cold the pads do get a little noisy and there's the increased brake dust, but I think these are non major issues and worthy of the trade off for much better and reliable braking performance.

I bought some Endless SS-Y's from FR-sport and they're way better than the stock pads in every way. They don't even cause dust.

I used my stock tires 15k mi + 6 track days + 2 driver skill courses - brake fluid (Motul RBF600) - brake pads (I used Ferodo DS2500 on the fronts)

Cut to 2019 and I added Ferodo Racing 2500 pads to the front and they worked GREAT at NJMSP, still with the EBC rears.

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 think my DS2500s were a good bit dustier than stock
