Brake pads Ferodo or STOPTECH
I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.
I’ve been using the pads for at least 15k miles on my 2015 evo, haven’t had any issues. Stops perfectly
Ferodo DS2500s were a popular autox/light track pad back in my Subaru days, they did well for me.
Been using these brake pads and shoes in my cars for the last 20 years with no issues
Very happy with the setup. I’ve failed to get it to fade on either mountain roads or the track, but never done long stints, maybe 20 min max. The DS2500s are nice because you can swap them out for other more or less aggressive Ferodo compounds without issue.
I ran Hawk pads on cars in the past and hated them, can’t say enough good things about the Ferodos.
I would recommend first to switch fluid for Castrol SRF then switch to Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads exclusively for track use and DS2500 for daily/canyon carving.The beauty of Ferodo brake pads is that it not needed to re-bedding your pads when switching compounds as long as you stay within the Ferodo family.DS1.11 are endurance pads that love to operate in very high temperatures which might not require cooling ducts.
Ether Motul RBF 600 or Endless RF650 brake fluid is a good options. As far as pads go Ferodo DS2500 is a great pad for street/track. It has relatively low dust and noise levels compared to other track pads, yet still has moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad.
Many people don't like ferodo pads, but I use ds2500 for dual duty, but they can be hard to find. Just got to be careful getting off the highway with them when they are cold.
Up for sale are new Ferodo DS2500 brake pads for an MK7 Golf R. I had bought these to replace my noisy new Hawk pads, but have decided to just stick with the noisy hawk pads.
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
