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 always use Textar - a boggo (albeit OE) brand, and never, ever have a problem.
I just daily my 17 GTI. The stock pads and rotors finally gave up at 103k miles. I was perfectly happy with the oem brakes, but not spending $700. I went Zimmerman and Texstar pads. So far no complaints, they feel like the stock brakes when they were new.
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.
Right now I use Ferodo DS 3.12 on RE71RS tires. They are pretty high bite and take some getting used to. I might go a rung lower on the friction scale and go with DS 1.11 next time because of that. But the DS 3.12 are unfadeable and very consistent.
Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.
Ferodo DS2500 are a great compromise pad. They’re a bit more on the race side of things but I never had issues with them being sketchy. Just get a bit of heat into them early to make sure they’re there.
Fairly okay with the ferodo ds2500, they're not made for longer than 20min sessions tho. They will fade and overheat.
I’m running DS2500 on my GTI and they are just not *quite* robust enough as I have progressed into the more advanced groups.
Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.
