Brake pads Ferodo or Tesla
I’ve ran the DS3.12... in my cayman. I get 15+ days on them... I like the harder bite from the Ferodos
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
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.
I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
I owned a 2018 Model 3 Performance for ~80k miles and now a Lucid Air Touring with over 20k miles. Maintenance wise, I have spent money on a set of tires for the Tesla (let's call that $1500), brake pads and rotors on the Telsa ($600?) and windshield washer fluid. The Lucid has needed nothing over the past 17 months except for a tire patch.
Ive been running the ferodo DS2500 and it seems to work well for occasional track use and mixed daily as well. Not too noisy on my older 911.
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.
Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.
I purchased Ferodo DS2500 pads for autocross with the Brembos when my stock pads were shot. Lubed them up using CRC brake grease and even bought separate Girodisco backing plates to help with noise. It was absolutely terrible. Loud squealing all the time from 15mph to zero. Down hills, in traffic, or coming to a stop.
