Ferodo DS2500 are a classic high performance street pad, every time I go through a set I am sure something better must have come along and do some market research, always end up back on the DS2500´s as an everday/occasional track pad. They are cheap and they last forever (really) relative to punishment taken, they are dusty though, that´s really my main issue with them.
If you can't find ceramic pads, get Ferodo Premium Eco Friction.
I’ve been using the pads for at least 15k miles on my 2015 evo, haven’t had any issues. Stops perfectly
Ferodo DS2500s were a popular autox/light track pad back in my Subaru days, they did well for me.
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.
DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.
Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.
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.
