Ferodo Brake pads

The rear brake pads I use all the time are ferodo 2500, they are great for the track and don't make noise on the street.

Pros: great for the track
Cons: no noise on street

Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on the front and rear. In the past 2-months I've run 2-track days (Buttonwillow and AutoClub Speedway Roval) and I'm really impressed with their fade-resistance after 6-7 hotlaps (17+ minutes) into a session.

Pros: good fade-resistance
Cons: dust factor equal HPS

Hawk HPS review: Very good stopping performance, very close to OEM pads. Maybe slightly less initial bite. Less noise than the OEM pad. Very quiet, really. These pads produce less dust than the OEM, probably half as much nasty dust. I can go days without having to clean the wheels now. I'm pretty sure they can handle more heat than the OEM pads as well.

Pros: very good stopping performance, less noise
Cons: slightly less initial bite

I'm running the same setup as you (Ferodo DS2500/Hawk HPS with ATE Super Blue) and also notice some mild fade after 6-8 laps. I also get a mushy pedal which persists after the brakes completely cool, meaning I'm probably getting some fluid boiling and need to bleed them out.

Cons: mild fade, mushy pedal
