Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.

Pros: low dust, low noise

Cons: groove getting worse

Vehicle: Audi TTS

Mileage: 1730 km

Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.

Pros: occasionally trackable

Cons: wear out fast

Vehicle: Toyota Supra

Rating 1.0

I purchased Ferodo DS2500 pads for autocross with the Brembos when my stock pads were shot. Lubed them up using CRC brake grease and even bought separate Girodisco backing plates to help with noise. It was absolutely terrible. Loud squealing all the time from 15mph to zero. Down hills, in traffic, or coming to a stop.

Cons: loud squealing, terrible noise

Part number: DS2500
