Ferodo DS2500 as DD Brake Pads

Powerslide · 08-22-2018, 05:24 PM

I'm thinking about going with these pads for Daily Driver use over the OEM Pads - although what I've heard about these pads is favorable - I've only heard a few anecdotal stories and would be interested to hear from anyone here who has used these for extended periods daily driving them.

I daily drive these, though in another thread someone said they have a lot of noise. I don't... My theory is you have to transfer the pad material properly (consistently heavy braking). If the car isn't going to be tracked at all I would stick to OEM as you may run into more noise with these.

I think Ferodo makes an even milder pad that is more like OEM.

I'm driving them more than a year with Essex AP calipers. They don't make any noise and their wear rate is very good. I will repurchase them for sure and I recommend them to everyone.

Is the Initial cold bite on the street better than oem pads ?

Do they dust the same as oem ? Can't be worse lol

I'm coming from CCBs so it's hard for me to compare

however as standalone review, I think initial bite is very good even at cold weather and autobahn drive. Since I don't care much about the brake dust, I can only say it's not that bad, I don't notice it very much so it should be good actually

Perfect thanks

I have them and have done 1 track day and about 2k street miles so far. They do have slightly more initial bite on the street vs. oem(even when cold) and I have noticed less brake dust compared to oem. Mine have not made a peep yet. Very quiet, held up great on the track day and feel great overall. I definitely recommend them.
