Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Chevrolet

I love the Ferodo DS 1.11 that I use on my M4. They're noisy and the dust is epic but they're totally fine to drive to and from the track. I've used them at a few track days at California Speedway, they're wearing really well, and I've never had even the slightest fade.

The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.

For \~$250, the Ferodo DS2500's are a great pad for dual street/spirited and light/medium track use.With any semi-metallic pad, you're going to have dust. You can't really substantially reduce dusting without going to something like ceramic pads, which then frictional force is compromised.

The heat resistance is much better than the stock pads, so it'd take a lot more to make these pads fade. They are more durable as well at least according to my experience. The only issues are that when it's cold the pads do get a little noisy and there's the increased brake dust, but I think these are non major issues and worthy of the trade off for much better and reliable braking performance.

I used my stock tires 15k mi + 6 track days + 2 driver skill courses - brake fluid (Motul RBF600) - brake pads (I used Ferodo DS2500 on the fronts)

Cut to 2019 and I added Ferodo Racing 2500 pads to the front and they worked GREAT at NJMSP, still with the EBC rears.

Ferodo DS2500 (street/track)-$290.00

I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.

I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 987 Cayman. They are a good pad for street/track duty and it seems they come recommended on the forums. Just remember a dual purpose pads are okay for street and track, but not great in either.

We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.
