Ferodo Brake Pads

[abcent]

I was looking into the Ferodo Formula (AS2000) brake bads and was wondering if anyone had used em before? From what Ferodo say there great for street driving aswell as sprint days at the track an club sport events. They say 650degrees max temp.

I know everyone loves the 2500 series Ferodo pads, but has anyone used the 2000 series (formula)?

Price on 2500 is around $250 from most places, I can get the formula series pads for $140 so I was going to give them a go an was wondering if antone else had tried em?

No I dont want RB74's or Bendix Ultimates

cheers

do you have the ferodo formula's on your car? have you ever done any track days with em? an if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for em?

[nuffsaid]

Never done a track day sorry.

Got them for like $140 as well, trade price haha.

Id sell em if anyone wants to buy, have only done 3000kms on them city driving, great pad, but too dusty for my wheels hehe

PM if interested anyone!

can't say i've run them, but i do run the DS2500's... WAAAAY overkill for a street car.... but thats the way i like it

well one of the reasons I was shyin away from the Bendix Ultimates is due to there reputation for silly amounts of brake dust, I hate cleaning my BBS mesh mags, pain in the arse!

I intend on using the car for track days, so the performance of the pad is important too, but not sure i'd pay the extra $110 to get 2500 series if the 2000 pads perform around the same.

I have never had them fade on me with hard street and hill driving.

Ultimates are dusty, a black dust though.

These are more a light brown dust. Easy to clean, just dusty in comparison to stock pads. I have never tried anything else.

email them for a price.

Do not use 2000 series on the track they do not cut it.

Get the 2500.

It would be unwise to skimp on brake pads at the track, It will cost you a lot more than the $110 difference in repair bills when you hit a tyre barrier due to brake fade.

yeah I checked em out, it'd cost me $253.81 to get Ferodo DS2500 pads landed to me from the US.

but I can get em from Unique Auto Sports for $245 an probably $10 freight...so that way would be easier for virtually no cost difference.
