Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi

I typically run RBF600 with Ferodo DS2500, changed at the beginning of spring and after each HPDE (back to OEM brake fluid in the winter). Massive improvement over the stock for sure, but at the end of a 2 day track weekend the pedal will be on the softer side, which improves after brake flush.

I have had good success with Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear, OEM rotors, and RBF600 (or equivalent) brake fluid. The Ferodo pads were fine to use for the street (no noise, normal dust, and seem reasonably rotor friendly) and competent on the track.

Ds2500 are at least oem dust level from what I've heard but better performance and they do squeak a bit.

Replaced my pads and rotors about a year ago. Went with some steel slotted rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads, for a total of probably less than $1000 all around. The Ferodo pads are much more linear/progressive in feel, whereas in my opinion the OEM pads had way too much initial bite and were too grabby, which is less than ideal when you're trying to be smooth. Additionally, the ferodo pads hold out far longer on the track before fading, while still handling adequately for daily driving (including in the winter).

I'm using Ferodo DS2500. Good pad for both road and track duty.

I am very happy with Ferodo's DS2500 pads. I also prefer not to swap pads and just run one set that works for both street and track. I participate in autoX and HPDE events - mostly the latter this year. The Ferodo pads have great initial bite when cold, perform well when hot, and seem to be easy on rotors

Thanks for the pad info, heard very good things about the ferodo on here.

My car has smaller brakes than yours, so I was able to downsize to a 245 45R17 for winter use from the 255 35R19 summers and the car is so much smoother but still can handle just as good.

I think my DS2500s were a good bit dustier than stock
