vs
Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Mazda
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
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
Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.
Pros: feel good
Cons: less longevity, more dust
I had a track day today with 1 hour session and closer to the end they were fade.When I took the pads out to check I noticed that they are extremely glazed like covered with a melted metal.Also, looks like they covered rotors with this melted metal, the inner side of both of them.The outer rotors surface is fine. The outer pads look the same glazed.I was checking them yesterday last time and they looked fine.The friction material looked fine and not that glazed.It's on the last photo.I was trying to brake short and strong all the time.There car is Suzuki swift sport.Brake pads ferodo dsuno.Track Zolder.
Cons: extreme glazing, melted metal
Vehicle:
Suzuki Swift
