I'm running Ferodo DS 1.11. and they're fine on the streets even during winters when it gets even as cold as -25C
I got their vented rear and front rotors (Girodiscs) with stock calipers and Ferrodo DS2500 pads all around. For a stock powered car they work great at VIR. I have done 2 sessions there now and braking is pretty decent. On the street this combo will never fade period. The rears overheat which overload the fronts and cause issues. Rears overheating also causes the wheel bearings to go out so getting vented rears is just smart.
Ferodo DS2500 are a classic high performance street pad, every time I go through a set I am sure something better must have come along and do some market research, always end up back on the DS2500´s as an everday/occasional track pad. They are cheap and they last forever (really) relative to punishment taken, they are dusty though, that´s really my main issue with them.
Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.
I fitted a Pagid discs and pads (fronts and rears) to my Octavia vRS a couple of months back and don't notice any difference from the previous OEM. Paid £230 just for the parts.
If you can't find ceramic pads, get Ferodo Premium Eco Friction.
I’ve been using the pads for at least 15k miles on my 2015 evo, haven’t had any issues. Stops perfectly
You will need brake cooling/ducts or will need to remove the dust shield to get more airflow (or both), went through a brand new set of rear Pagid RS29 endurance pads in less than a weekend in July when I first got the first F80 years ago. The heat did a number on them in the afternoons with ambient temps over 90 and all the 150ish to 40ish and 130ish to 30ish on the back and front straights respectively
You'll need decent pads, and ones that can handle a car with a bit of weight behind it, think Pagid RSL29, Winmax W5 or Mintex 1166 if you're not going mad. You'll want to flush out your brake fluid and replace it with something that will take the heat as the tiny brakes on a 325i WILL overheat, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when, good fluid will stop you from boiling it and crashing!
I went through a set on my M4 in two days. Have Pagid RSL29 now and three very hard driving days in they show little if any wear
