Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Volkswagen

I've used both I like the bite of the ferodo's better.

I’ve ran the DS3.12... in my cayman. I get 15+ days on them... I like the harder bite from the Ferodos

Ferodo 2500 they are a (race pad) but work absolutely fine if you do daily driving I’ve had them for almost 6 months now and I’ve 4 track days along with daily driving and they have held up great

Ferodo ds 1.11 on my cayman GTS 4.0 seem to last a long time. 1 weekend at COTA which is very brake abusive plus another 3-4 weekends at a less brake intensive track. I drive them to/from the track and swap to ferodo ds2500 for street duty.

well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors

Ive been running the ferodo DS2500 and it seems to work well for occasional track use and mixed daily as well. Not too noisy on my older 911.

Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.

I daily and autox ferodo ds2500, pretty happy with them, more dust and noise than an oem pad but can withstand light track work. Doesn’t sound like an awful bus/train but the occasional squeak happens.

I purchased Ferodo DS2500 pads for autocross with the Brembos when my stock pads were shot. Lubed them up using CRC brake grease and even bought separate Girodisco backing plates to help with noise. It was absolutely terrible. Loud squealing all the time from 15mph to zero. Down hills, in traffic, or coming to a stop.

New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.
