Brake pads Ferodo or TRW

Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.

I found ferodo ds uno to be great for track and fine for roads.

I’m using Brembo brake discs and Ferodo brake pads.

If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC

When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking.  Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.

Pads (Ferodo ds1.11 is what i started out with)

I switched to Ferodo DS2500 earlier this year and like them a little more.

Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.

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 used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
