I have swapped between Ferodo DS2500 (street) and DS1.11 pads without issues. Just go slow to heat them up so you can get the transfer layer applied.

Pros: easy swap, no issues
Vehicle: BMW

I have negotiated with SWMBO that for slightly more than what we would pay to have the dealer do just the rears I could put new slotted rotors (do not want drilled, slotted only), new Fedora DS2500 pads (have them on the FRS and love them) and coated stainless steel brake lines on all four corners and do the labor myself.

Pros: love them

Rating 4.5

I use the Ferodo DS2500. I track my car several times a year, but it’s also a daily driver in New England winters.Been very impressed with these pads as they are absolutely silent and still bite in the cold. The only noise they make is a clunk when changing direction front to back (like reversing, then going forward again).Dust isn’t any worse than OEM, may possibly be better actually.If you don’t really care about better performance, find a ceramic pad like PosiQuiet.

Pros: silent, good cold bite, low dust
Cons: clunk when changing direction

A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.

Pros: great brakes, competent tuning

I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.

Pros: good for track use
Cons: stock pads fade quickly
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

Many people don't like ferodo pads, but I use ds2500 for dual duty, but they can be hard to find. Just got to be careful getting off the highway with them when they are cold.

Pros: dual duty
Cons: hard to find, cold performance

Ferodo Brake pads

I had a track day today with 1 hour session and closer to the end they were fade.When I took the pads out to check I noticed that they are extremely glazed like covered with a melted metal.Also, looks like they covered rotors with this melted metal, the inner side of both of them.The outer rotors surface is fine. The outer pads look the same glazed.I was checking them yesterday last time and they looked fine.The friction material looked fine and not that glazed.It's on the last photo.I was trying to brake short and strong all the time.There car is Suzuki swift sport.Brake pads ferodo dsuno.Track Zolder.

Cons: extreme glazing, melted metal
