Pros: handle brake fade well

Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.
Pros: great option
Cons: noisy, dusty

Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!

Stock PP1 pads are Ferodo DS2500. Actually pretty good.

Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.
Pros: manageable brakes
Cons: insurance isn’t great
Vehicle:
Audi S3

DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.
Cons: squeak
Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.
Cons: odd noise, binding noise
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
I hated Ferodo DS2500 on the street. Because they need to be warm to perform. And if I am driving on a highway for couple minutes or through a city, they loose the heat and perform badly for a bit.
Pros: need to be warm
Cons: perform badly for bit
