Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi
People can talk all they want but I had a 2017 A4 bought at 32k miles and sold with 94k 2.5 years later in 2022 and it was by far the most reliable and hassle free car I ever had. Nothing but routine maintenance, in that period I didn’t even have to change the brakes.
Pros: most reliable, hassle free
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 32000 km
Now I have a 19 R DSG, and I've tracked it twice (Summit Point and VIR) with nothing more than new rotors, Ferodo brake pads and Motul 500 fluid. I never had any overheating issues with either the brakes or the oil, but both weekends were cooler weather.
Pros: no overheating issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I’d recommend DS2500’s. They are a bit noisy for everyday but the performance is worth it. Nice and predictable feel
Pros: good performance, predictable feel
Cons: a bit noisy
I have personally bought Ferodo brake pads from AF1racing for my 2022 SR/S. Pads work great
Pros: Pads work great
Gyrodisc 2 piece rotors + Ferodo DS2500.
Vehicle:
Audi S3
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.
Pros: easy swap, no issues
Vehicle:
BMW
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)
Vehicle:
BMW
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.
Pros: good for track use
Cons: stock pads fade quickly
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
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.
Pros: dual duty
Cons: hard to find, cold performance
My rear pads cracked after 3 months, 4k km of use.
Cons: cracked, short lifespan
Mileage: 4000 km
