Buy Ferodo DS2500 brake pads then buy rotors according to your budget, forget about drilled rotors if anything go with slotted and if within your budget get two piece rotors in order to save unsprung weight.
DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.
DBA Sport. Heaps less dust than oem.
Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.
Stock PP1 pads are Ferodo DS2500. Actually pretty good.
I’m at 155,000km and I’m about to replace my OEM rotors and pads this month with DBA slotted rotors + DBA XP/SP brake pads. I do 75% highway driving and I never have to brake hard.
Ferodo 3.12 pads ( 6 track days+? we will see)
Up for sale are new Ferodo DS2500 brake pads for an MK7 Golf R. I had bought these to replace my noisy new Hawk pads, but have decided to just stick with the noisy hawk pads.
SOLVED - I simply overheated the pads. Spoke to Ferodo and I followed their advice: Bed in was fine. Overheating led to pad material bake to the rotors. 120 grit block sanding on the rotors removed this. Pads were a little glazed but 80 grit sanding removed the shiny bits. Bed in again and running well but haven’t pushed it yet so unsure if the pads are done.
My rear pads cracked after 3 months, 4k km of use.
