Brake pads Bosch or Ferodo
I have personally bought Ferodo brake pads from AF1racing for my 2022 SR/S. Pads work great
Fourth I would make sure you are using high quality pads and rotors. Use name brands like raybestos, centric, Bosch, etc. Lower quality brands will have more issues.
Gyrodisc 2 piece rotors + Ferodo DS2500.
I have swapped between Ferodo DS2500 (street) and DS1.11 pads without issues. Just go slow to heat them up so you can get the transfer layer applied.
Depending on the tier of pads Autozone does source from Bosch. The big benefit to Autozone is that you only pay once as they do a lifetime warranty and it covers wear. I have their most expensive pads on my car and have replaced them twice a year for 5 years now.
I've been running Bosch pads for about 12 years now never an issue on any make or model.
Zimmerman rotors and ferodo 2500ds pads. 5 months old and used in 4 hpde. Im upgrading to a more track duty pad (hawk dtc 70)
Ceramic pads Bosch Quietcast BC1047 or Wagner OEX for longevity, cleaner wheels and reduced stopping distance when warmed up.
For my 987 the pagids would squeal the most. PFC08 weren’t as bad with similar performance. If you want a hybrid street/track pad that will be pretty quiet on the street (as long as you bed properly) the Ferodo DS2500 is not bad, just be aware if you’re tracking on them at a good pace under heavy braking they can wear quickly. I ran them at the glen and was able to get maybe 3 good days out of a set.
I just replaced the pads (Bosch BE1633H) and rotors (Textar 5Q0615301G) on my MK7 R, and after torqueing everything I noticed a clunk when rolling up and down my driveway (happened only when going from forward to reverse or vice versa). I jacked the car up, took the wheels off, and checked all the bolts, everything was tight and torqued to spec. I then noticed that the brake pad itself is shifting.
