Brake pads Ferodo or TRW
I use to buy trw ATEC, after use found out its leave alot of break dust. After doing some research, I found out the TREW ATEC made for metalic that why it have alot of dust. I change to TRW DTEC which made form ceramic it not dusty and more silent.
I like the Ferodo DS2500 for street/canyons, tho I find they’re pretty dusty.
If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G
DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).
With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.
Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).
Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.
Brembo Slotted Brakes (286mm F) TRW Pads
Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.
DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.
Gt4 brake pads ran me about 1000-1100 for ferodo ds3.12.
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.
