Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Volkswagen

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.

2017 Alltrack brake upgrade I purchased these brakes on E-Bay as an upgrade to my worn brakes. For 2015-2019 Volkswagen GTI,Golf Alltrack Front Rear Brake Rotors+Ceramic Pads ( 373144494397 ) Delivered on Aug 28, 2020 They were $199 including shipping. This item has been shipped. Add note- For 2015-2019 Volkswagen GTI,Golf Alltrack Front Rear Brake Rotors+Ceramic Pads front and back drilled and slotted with ceramic discs. Very happy with them so far.

As you can see I have a 2016 GTI PP (Big Brake). I love the car and the brakes are outrageous. At over 140 MPH I had to get on them hard because somebody decided to move left because he didn't like me driving fast. They are fantastic.

I upgraded to the 312 and am happy with the change, it is less grabby.

I upgraded. Made brakes way less twitchy and much more progressive with substantially less brake fade. I highly recommend it.

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.

My 06 GTI had the rears wear out at 70k. The fronts lasted until 135k. I was completely dumbfounded that the rears wore faster and the fronts lasted that long. I replaced everything with OEM parts and am experiencing similar wear on the new stuff.

Back from a 5 day trip and my car was parked with the park brake on. ( Auto brake) The result was the pads stuck ( rusted?) onto the discs. I had to speed up to "break" them loose. Pathetic quality!

only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
