I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet
Just did the rear brakes on my 2015 335i
Just did the front pads and rotors on my wife’s 2020. Went with Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads and it brakes like a dream, was recommended them from a friend's euro and exotic shop.
Ferodo 3.12 pads ( 6 track days+? we will see)
My Golf has TRW and Zimmerman which are like OEM+ maybe
I’ll be switching to TRW Ultra pads when the time comes. All reviews say they are similar in performance to OEM without the dust.
I use TRW brake pads (just checked, articles are GDB3592 for front, GDB2172 for back). They make quite a lot of brake dust during spirited driving, but that’s not a big deal for me (IMO more brake dust = less wear on brake discs).
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.
I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.
I run the Sebro slotted rotors with Ferodo DS3.12s on track, which are louder than a school bus on the street, so I swap back to OEM pads and rotors after each event.
