Brake pads Ferodo or JURID

Stock calipers with ferodo ds11.1 pads

I paid 800 all in for tarox front and rear dics and ferodo pads on my f10 535d and fitted it myself in a day..

I run DS3.12 now and ran DS1.11 on my previous car on track and love them (better then PFC-08)

My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.

Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.

The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.

I did tons of research and settled on Ferodo DS3.12 (FCP4425G) in front and DS1.11 (FCP4697W) rear with Castrol SRF fluid. Stock R calipers and rotors have held up as well as any aftermarkets I read about for MUCH less $. Zero issues, and cheap.

SOLVED - I simply overheated the pads. Spoke to Ferodo and I followed their advice: Bed in was fine. Overheating led to pad material bake to the rotors. 120 grit block sanding on the rotors removed this. Pads were a little glazed but 80 grit sanding removed the shiny bits. Bed in again and running well but haven’t pushed it yet so unsure if the pads are done.

I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.

I swapped out the rear pads on my 2017 Mk7 Golf R following the instructions for doing so with OBD Eleven Pro to a "t" and still wound up with a plethora of error codes. I installed new (Ferrodo) pads
