vs
Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Mazda
Back in March I got fed up with the B5 platform shenanigans and started shopping for a Subaru... Upon entering the Mazda dealer, I got the typical \"We don't have the exact one you want in manual, but we do have this...\" and I decided to humor the salesman. Lo and behold, a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 appeared before me... With 263 ponies and 280 ft/pounds of I could dead, the MS3 has proven itself to be the best possible car that a 23 year old male could own.
Pros: handling is unreal, stock brakes good
Cons: violent torque steer, premium gas
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 48000 km
I would like them from Ferodo as well. I have them on my BRZ and they are great.
Pros: they are great
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
Brake job coming up this weekend. New rotors (Centric blanks, OEM size) are still in transit to my door... but here's the good stuff. Ferodo DS2500 brake pads and RBS600.
Pros: good stuff
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I ran with Ferodo DS2500s. They work incredibly well for light track use (my street tires overheat before the brakes ever fade), they are dead silent, and, somehow, very low dust. They are more expensive than most other pads though and probably excessive for most people in their capabilities.
Pros: excellent for track, dead silent, very low dust
Cons: more expensive, excessive capabilities
Vehicle:
Subaru
On a positive note- the brakes were sporty car firm and easy to modulate even with these tires.
Pros: sporty car firm
Vehicle:
Mazda

overhauled the brakes(all 4 corners): -calipers(rebuild) -discs(brembo) -pads (ferodo ds2500)
Pros: new discs, new pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: DS2500
I did install Ferodo pads as well as the brake fluid flush at local Audi Dealership, however I do have some pulsation when I brake from higher speed. It is non existent in the city driving but on the highway my brake pedal pulsates a bit and I don't like this.
Cons: brake pedal pulsates
Vehicle:

Yeah use OEM rotors with DS2500 pads. That will be a great setup! Actually, DS2500 might be a bit too much for street, since they are pretty dusty and a little noisy.
Pros: great setup
Cons: dusty and noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I run the Sebro slotted rotors with Ferodo DS3.12s on track, which are louder than a school bus on the street, so I swap back to OEM pads and rotors after each event.
Cons: very loud on street
