Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi
My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.
Pros: good for daily use
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Part number: DS2500
Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.
Pros: fan of Ferodo
The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm
Pros: aggressive stability control
Cons: rear pads wear fast
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Mileage: 17000 km
The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.

I did tons of research and settled on Ferodo DS3.12 (FCP4425G) in front and DS1.11 (FCP4697W) rear with Castrol SRF fluid. Stock R calipers and rotors have held up as well as any aftermarkets I read about for MUCH less $. Zero issues, and cheap.
Pros: zero issues, cheap
Part number: FCP4425G
I've had good results with Ferodo DS2500 pads. More torque than stock, dusting about the same.
Pros: more torque than stock
Cons: dusting about the same
I love the Ferodo DS 1.11 that I use on my M4. They're noisy and the dust is epic but they're totally fine to drive to and from the track. I've used them at a few track days at California Speedway, they're wearing really well, and I've never had even the slightest fade.
Pros: good wear, no fade
Cons: noisy, dusty
Vehicle:
BMW M4
I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.
Pros: streetable, tough
Cons: dusty, noisy
Vehicle:
Toyota
I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 987 Cayman. They are a good pad for street/track duty and it seems they come recommended on the forums. Just remember a dual purpose pads are okay for street and track, but not great in either.
Pros: good for street/track
Cons: not great in either

460€ per il primo tagliando della mia Audi Q2, poi dopo aver pagato anche il secondo e avendo saputo che mi volevano cambiare le pastiglie dei freni dicendo che erano finite quando in realtà portandola dal mio gommista e guardando risultavano a metà della loro vita ho capito che 3/4 delle spese messe in carico in un tagliando al concessionario Audi ufficiale sono soldi rubati, ti cambiano pezzi che non servono solo per alzare il totale..
Cons: costi alti, soldi rubati
Vehicle:
Audi Q2
