Been using these brake pads and shoes in my cars for the last 20 years with no issues
Very happy with the setup. I’ve failed to get it to fade on either mountain roads or the track, but never done long stints, maybe 20 min max. The DS2500s are nice because you can swap them out for other more or less aggressive Ferodo compounds without issue.
I ran Hawk pads on cars in the past and hated them, can’t say enough good things about the Ferodos.
I would recommend first to switch fluid for Castrol SRF then switch to Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads exclusively for track use and DS2500 for daily/canyon carving.The beauty of Ferodo brake pads is that it not needed to re-bedding your pads when switching compounds as long as you stay within the Ferodo family.DS1.11 are endurance pads that love to operate in very high temperatures which might not require cooling ducts.
Ether Motul RBF 600 or Endless RF650 brake fluid is a good options. As far as pads go Ferodo DS2500 is a great pad for street/track. It has relatively low dust and noise levels compared to other track pads, yet still has moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad.
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
I had a 172,Clio with ferodo DS2500 pads all round and brembo high carbon vented front discs and solid rear discs.
I run the Ferodo DS2500 which would probably meet your criteria. Fair warning though - they make noise, especially in the fixed Brembo calipers. You have to regrease them every few months.
I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.
Many people don't like ferodo pads, but I use ds2500 for dual duty, but they can be hard to find. Just got to be careful getting off the highway with them when they are cold.
I hated Ferodo DS2500 on the street. Because they need to be warm to perform. And if I am driving on a highway for couple minutes or through a city, they loose the heat and perform badly for a bit.
