Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Volvo
I am very happy with Ferodo's DS2500 pads. I also prefer not to swap pads and just run one set that works for both street and track. I participate in autoX and HPDE events - mostly the latter this year. The Ferodo pads have great initial bite when cold, perform well when hot, and seem to be easy on rotors
Thanks for the pad info, heard very good things about the ferodo on here.
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.
I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.
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.
I run the Sebro slotted rotors with Ferodo DS3.12s on track, which are louder than a school bus on the street, so I swap back to OEM pads and rotors after each event.
