Ferodo DS2500 pads

gsrbri · 08-03-2011, 09:53 AM

Guys:

Considering the Ferodo DS2500 for my E90. I do probably 2-3 DE events per year (NHIS and Limerock), and the rest of the time it's my daily driver. If I end up doing more than one day, I'll prob switch out for my standby Pagid Yellows.

Never used Ferodos, so any feedback? Quality? Results? I'm an intermediate track driver, so I probably don't beat on the brakes as hard as some and NHIS/Limerock max speeds are prob 120 in the M3.

Thanks much in advance. -Brian

A few people here have had very good results with these pads.
The StopTech street sport pad is another pad that's good for daily use and some track events.

I had good results. I'm back to PF-01s now, but a couple of years ago the selection was pretty slim. I got four days out of them in advanced groups on street tires. If I remember correctly, I thought they had kind of a numb feel to them, but I was running rubber brake lines and stock caliper mounts. I don't think you can go wrong with them.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
