vs
Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi
I've been using the DS1.11 this year, and they've been fantastic. I have about 12 or so track days on them and still have some life.
Pros: fantastic, good life
I like the DS3.12 on my GR86
Pros: like them
Vehicle:
Toyota
Love the 3.12s. They will chew thru your rotors tho
Pros: love them
Cons: chew through rotors
I've used both I like the bite of the ferodo's better.
Pros: better bite
I’ve ran the DS3.12... in my cayman. I get 15+ days on them... I like the harder bite from the Ferodos
Pros: 15+ days longevity, harder bite
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Ferodo 2500 they are a (race pad) but work absolutely fine if you do daily driving I’ve had them for almost 6 months now and I’ve 4 track days along with daily driving and they have held up great
Pros: work fine daily, held up great
Ferodo ds 1.11 on my cayman GTS 4.0 seem to last a long time. 1 weekend at COTA which is very brake abusive plus another 3-4 weekends at a less brake intensive track. I drive them to/from the track and swap to ferodo ds2500 for street duty.
Pros: last a long time, drive to/from track
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
I daily and autox ferodo ds2500, pretty happy with them, more dust and noise than an oem pad but can withstand light track work. Doesn’t sound like an awful bus/train but the occasional squeak happens.
Pros: withstand light track work, pretty happy
Cons: more dust, more noise, occasional squeak
Part number: DS2500
The 3.12s have a LOT of bite and can make modulation tough on certain cars. On my E46 M3, I run DS UNO or DS1.11s. That's with the AP race kit front & rear. Didn't like the 3.12s for that application.
Pros: a lot of bite
Cons: modulation tough
Vehicle:
BMW
I purchased Ferodo DS2500 pads for autocross with the Brembos when my stock pads were shot. Lubed them up using CRC brake grease and even bought separate Girodisco backing plates to help with noise. It was absolutely terrible. Loud squealing all the time from 15mph to zero. Down hills, in traffic, or coming to a stop.
Cons: loud squealing, terrible noise
Part number: DS2500
