Brake pads R1 Concepts or Ferodo

Try R1 concepts , it got my respect as it almost helped me escape a few accidents in the last 3 months

If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G

DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).

With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.

Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).

Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.

Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.

DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.

Gt4 brake pads ran me about 1000-1100 for ferodo ds3.12.

Ferrodo DS2500 is probably the best dual duty pad.

Surprisingly, R1 Concepts Track Pads. They have been really great on the track (3800lb/310hp? car).

I left them on my daily since I am too lazy to change out the pads and they have been on for about 6 months and a few track days. They are great for the street and track but dusty as hell. They only make noise when it’s cold outside other wise they are fine.

I slapped in some r1 concepts pads and rotors on both of my Subarus after the oem ones kept warping.

R1 Concepts Track Pads. I used them for my daily and occasional track. I am too lazy to swap the pads. Hella dusty tho.

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.
