I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
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.
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
Ferodo DS2500s were a popular autox/light track pad back in my Subaru days, they did well for me.
Quality pads and rotors tend not to warp out in a couple hundred miles. If you bought Durlast junk from Autoroo then that's the reason. Stick with OE/OEM Quality like ATE rotors and Textar pads.
DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.
I had a track day today with 1 hour session and closer to the end they were fade.When I took the pads out to check I noticed that they are extremely glazed like covered with a melted metal.Also, looks like they covered rotors with this melted metal, the inner side of both of them.The outer rotors surface is fine. The outer pads look the same glazed.I was checking them yesterday last time and they looked fine.The friction material looked fine and not that glazed.It's on the last photo.I was trying to brake short and strong all the time.There car is Suzuki swift sport.Brake pads ferodo dsuno.Track Zolder.
