Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.
I found ferodo ds uno to be great for track and fine for roads.
I’m using Brembo brake discs and Ferodo brake pads.
Pads (Ferodo ds1.11 is what i started out with)
I switched to Ferodo DS2500 earlier this year and like them a little more.
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.
Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.
I daily and autox ferodo ds2500, pretty happy with them, more dust and noise than an oem pad but can withstand light track work. Doesn’t sound like an awful bus/train but the occasional squeak happens.
I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
