I run DS3.12 now and ran DS1.11 on my previous car on track and love them (better then PFC-08)
My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.
Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.
The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.
I did tons of research and settled on Ferodo DS3.12 (FCP4425G) in front and DS1.11 (FCP4697W) rear with Castrol SRF fluid. Stock R calipers and rotors have held up as well as any aftermarkets I read about for MUCH less $. Zero issues, and cheap.
I've had good results with Ferodo DS2500 pads. More torque than stock, dusting about the same.
Pal has Volvo brakes on his bmw E10.
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.
My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.
Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).
