Brake pads Ferodo or OEM KIA

I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.

If you can't find ceramic pads, get Ferodo Premium Eco Friction.

I’ve been using the pads for at least 15k miles on my 2015 evo, haven’t had any issues. Stops perfectly

Ferodo DS2500s were a popular autox/light track pad back in my Subaru days, they did well for me.

Been using these brake pads and shoes in my cars for the last 20 years with no issues

Very happy with the setup. I’ve failed to get it to fade on either mountain roads or the track, but never done long stints, maybe 20 min max. The DS2500s are nice because you can swap them out for other more or less aggressive Ferodo compounds without issue.

I ran Hawk pads on cars in the past and hated them, can’t say enough good things about the Ferodos.

I would recommend first to switch fluid for Castrol SRF then switch to Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads exclusively for track use and DS2500 for daily/canyon carving.The beauty of Ferodo brake pads is that it not needed to re-bedding your pads when switching compounds as long as you stay within the Ferodo family.DS1.11 are endurance pads that love to operate in very high temperatures which might not require cooling ducts.

The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.

Ferodo Ds2500 as brake pads or Ebc Yellostuff (a tad cheaper). Avoid drilled or grooved rotors because kinda useless. Just a good oem equivalent like Brembo (if in you market have CTF go for it)

My rear pads cracked after 3 months, 4k km of use.
