Brake pads Ferodo or Raybestos
I'd just buy any of the old line good quality aftermarket that are aiming at OEM. Raybestos, Bendix, Wagner. Or just buy BMW OEM.
I'm using Ferodo DS2500. Good pad for both road and track duty.
AC Delco for electronics. Moog for suspension. Raybestos for brakes.
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.
Tried EBC Green Stuff but they did not work for me; now I'm using Ferodo DS Performance. They work well on OEM and EBC Turbo Grove discs.
So I mentioned to Mike at GiroDisc (who is great btw) that I was in the market for pads, and he recommended Raybestos ST43s, which get great reviews. So I went with them, but two events ago they put deposits on the rotors so bad the car shook like mad after a few laps. I still had the HT-10s with me, so I swapped them, they wiped the deposits off and I was back in business for the day.
