Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi

Ive been running the ferodo DS2500 and it seems to work well for occasional track use and mixed daily as well. Not too noisy on my older 911.

Right now I use Ferodo DS 3.12 on RE71RS tires. They are pretty high bite and take some getting used to. I might go a rung lower on the friction scale and go with DS 1.11 next time because of that. But the DS 3.12 are unfadeable and very consistent.

Ferodo DS2500 are a great compromise pad. They’re a bit more on the race side of things but I never had issues with them being sketchy. Just get a bit of heat into them early to make sure they’re there.

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.

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).

Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.

Fairly okay with the ferodo ds2500, they're not made for longer than 20min sessions tho. They will fade and overheat.
