Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.
I found ferodo ds uno to be great for track and fine for roads.
I’m using Brembo brake discs and Ferodo brake pads.
I have a 22 Telly, 103k miles. I’ve replaced rear or front brake pads can’t remember which at 102k, and routine oil changes. THAT’S IT.
I am on my second Kia vehicle, and they both have been amazing. 100k miles on my optima when it was totaled, and only thing ever replaced were the brakes at like 80k miles, besides regular oil changes.
Pads (Ferodo ds1.11 is what i started out with)
I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.
Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.
The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.
I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
