Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Mazda
Back in the early 1980s I remember how peer pressure kept guys at our Mazda dealerships from blowing brakes clean during inspections and repairs.
Pros: wet cleaning procedures
Vehicle:
Mazda
Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.
Pros: no brake fade
Cons: slight pulsing of steering wheel
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 3000 km
I put 220,000 miles on a Mazda six sport automatic transmission 2015 before my son wrecked it without doing anything except changing in the brakes and some steering parts and of course oil changes synthetic it had started to use a little oil between changes maybe a quart.
Pros: synthetic oil changes
Cons: used a little oil
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 354055 km
DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.
Pros: best hybrid pads
Gt4 brake pads ran me about 1000-1100 for ferodo ds3.12.
Pros: good brake pads
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Porsche
Part number: DS3.12
Ferrodo DS2500 is probably the best dual duty pad.
Pros: best dual duty pad
Ferodo ds2500 pads which are a high performance street pad which is trackable. I took it to the track today and had zero fade or brake issues. Then, I let my crazy fast instructor drive and rip the shit out of the car for 20 min straight. By the end of the round, the brakes were smoking. But still, no fade, and those weren’t even track only pads.
Pros: high performance, trackable, zero fade
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Probably need to change the brake pads if they are uneven or glazed.
Cons: uneven or glazed
Vehicle:
Mazda
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
Jeg kører også Mazda, deres bremser holder ikke super længe. Da jeg skulle have skiftet skiver og klodser foran gav de et tilbud på 14.000 og forklarede den høje pris med at de jo bruger originale dele. Rimelig skørt når de originale dele ikke holder.
Cons: bremser holder ikke længe
Vehicle:
