Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Mazda

Ferado Fast Road pads. DS2000s maybe? Excellent cold bite and never had them fade while left-foot- braking during autox. Had some Hawks or something and they destroyed the rotors just daily driving them. Compound was way too aggressive on those.

I like the Ferodos and I would buy them again. They had good feel and bite, and they are quiet.

The Ferodo's are great. I will need to replace my pads after my next event in January. I am going to try Carbotech pads this next time, XP10 in front and XP8 in the rear after discussing my needs with them.

Currently on my EP3 I'm running the spoon monoblocks behind enkei rpf1's as you can see here. With Brembo discs using Ferodo Ds 2500 brake pads. Also running Hell braided lines with motol 600 brake fluid.

I will be running Ferodo DS2500 brake pads in front and OEM pads on the rear.

Ferodo DS2500. Pricey but worth it. Fantastic street/autocross/HPDE pad. Low initial bite and incredibly easy to modulate. Does not stick on release like the HP+ is known to.

I eventually made it out the track and was surprised how well the car performed despite worn, stock brakes and tyres. Each lap brought more and more confidence although the long straight did bring some serious speed. I saw 110mph pretty much each lap and on lap 6 or 7 on the first run the brake pedal became a bit too soft for my liking followed by a bit of smoke in the rear view mirror.

I think my DS2500s were a good bit dustier than stock

Tried EBC Green Stuff but they did not work for me; now I'm using Ferodo DS Performance. They work well on OEM and EBC Turbo Grove discs.

Just had a dealer give me an estimate of $560 for new rear pads and rotors. Unfortunately, the idiot was going by mileage and he never actually looked to see that I just replaced the pads and rotors myself 10,000 miles ago. That was on my 2016 Mazda CX 5.
