Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Nissan

Ive been running ferodo 2500s and motul rbf600 fluid and have never had them fade.

I liked the ferodo street pad a lot. I got mine used from potterman when I bought the brakes from his one lap car. They had great initial bite and did farely well on track. They would start to get overworked towards the end of a session but they are street pads. They dust a lot just like the 2500s.

I run audio TT front rotors (12.3 instead of 11.3), aggressive pads (ferodo DS2500) and racing brake fluid (motul rbf 600) and even on the track where you have to do some high speed stops (125-45) I havent really seen much brake fade.

I'm running OEM rotors and calipers with Ferodo DS2500 frt/Hawk HPS rear and ATE superblue fluid. The brakes held up great. But then coming out of Turn 2, I accelerate to about 90 before hitting the brakes again going on a steeper downhill to slow to about 30mph. This is where I feel a touch of fade.

I have had great success running the Ferodo DS2500 on the rear of the car.

If you adjust the regulator spring too tight, or you lower the car without releasing the additional tension that put on the regulator spring, the rear wheels will lock up. If you have it adjusted really close to the limit for your rear wheels (for optimum braking) and you upgrade the rear pads to Ferodo DS2500 and keep the Mintex Red Box pads on the front axle, you might also get rear wheel lockup because the total braking force at the rear wheels increases by 50% or so with that pad upgrade, and the front doesn't get a similar increase in grip.

The MKIV is definitley biased towards the rear. A grippy pad like Ferodo DS2500 up front helps a lot!

I have the Ferrodo ds2500 pads on the front of my car, they dust like crazy!!!!!! its okay though, who cares really? dust more than stock, but the dust seems easier, as far as i can remember to remove than stock. I have mintex red box in the rear....they suck. i second the squeeking on the rear brakes w/ the redbox. The only good thing about them is the price, and that the dust is little, and light colored. You will get plenty of milage out of your ds2500 pads. Mine are about 1/2 way worn, and i've put about 15k miles on them, and trust me i do not drive easy. i've had my rotors glow several times w/ them on, and regularly have to slow down from 80mph to stop lights and such. They wear like iron. when i first got them they squeeked like crazy, then once they got about 30% worn they shut up, now they are silent. They have less cold bite than stock, but not anything alittle more pedal pressure cant take care of. once they get warm/hot they start biting more and more and more....its awesome.

I put on new Brembo slotted rotors up front. Ferodo DS2000 fast road pads all around.

I liked my Ferodos, my bro tried the Ferodo DS 2000's and he gave them mixed reviews.
