vs
Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Mazda
I bedded them in good, and there is not a big change in bite. They definitely work well when they have some heat in them. Happy with them. No noise as of yet.
Pros: work well with heat, no noise
Cons: no big change in bite
I like these pads, but they have less bite than the HP+ pads. Those would really grab. These make no noise as of yet. Just the grab feels similar to a stock pad???? I like them and am happy so far.
Pros: make no noise
Cons: less bite than HP+
Very quiet, very good bite and feel. Probably the best brake pad I've used.
Pros: very good bite, very quiet
Cons: pads dust like hell
cross off the 2500's i love mine but if don't clean my wheels once a week it looks like i haven't touched em in 6 months.
Pros: i love mine
Cons: wheels get dirty
Currently running Ferodo pads which I prefer to the Mintex Redbox pads.
Pros: prefer Ferodo pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen New Beetle
What I did notice is that the brakes performed better when doing repeated stops which is related to their heat dissispation.
Pros: better performance, repeated stops
Vehicle:
Audi TT
The most economical upgrade for street use is just beefy pads. Try Ferodo DS2500 on the front axle with your OEM 11.3" rotors combined with Hawk HPS on the rears.
Pros: economical upgrade, beefy pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Ive been running ferodo 2500s and motul rbf600 fluid and have never had them fade.
Pros: no fade
I'm running the same setup as you (Ferodo DS2500/Hawk HPS with ATE Super Blue) and also notice some mild fade after 6-8 laps. I also get a mushy pedal which persists after the brakes completely cool, meaning I'm probably getting some fluid boiling and need to bleed them out.
Cons: mild fade, mushy pedal
The brakes - overheated on several occassions coming down mountain passes. This happened on 2 sets of brakes so it seems like a design issue.
Cons: overheated on mountain passes
Vehicle:
Mazda
