Brake pads Ferodo or ENDLESS

I'm going to tell you ferodo DS 1.11. Street driven on them a ton very easy on rotors. Endurance pad, much better than other things I see mentioned a lot like it blows my mind when people think RSL29s are better. I don't have an M3 but I have a 330ci which has the same brakes, and I've had lots of other cars from Corvettes to Mustangs and camaros. Have run that compound a ton.

I think they work just fine. They squealed a bit even after running them in, it stopped however after the first track day where i properly cooked the brakes.

If you want a bit more performance without loosing cold braking, use ferodo ds performance, they're amazing price-quality wise.

I'm running Endless MX87s on my WRX. They work really well for autocross and are streetable. Little noisy when cold, but never had any issues driving to and from events, even in traffic

Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).

I used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.

i’ve ran ferrodo ds2500 on my gli, they worked well as a hybrid street/track pad but would fade a bit after a few hard sessions

DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.

I hated Ferodo DS2500 on the street. Because they need to be warm to perform. And if I am driving on a highway for couple minutes or through a city, they loose the heat and perform badly for a bit.
