Feredo DS2500 brake pads were awesome, didnt fade once. Front disks will need replacing as they were a bit grumbly by the end.
Little bit of an update on this following another track day I did last week.
I'd ordered a new set of disks a few weeks ago and had some time to fit them a few days before the track day and found the DS2500 pads didn't cope that well with the previous track day I did.
That was about 190 track miles and about 400 non hard road miles. I've used DS2500s before on lots of road cars (no track days) with no problems at all, it looks like they don’t like sustained high temp use.
I decided to try some Pagid RS42 pads or blues as they are commonly known. I didn't even have time to bed them in before the track day.
I found some other bits that needed replacing, the CV boots were worn and the track rod end rubber seals were perished. When replacing the CV boots I checked the CV joints and found they were binding at certain points. All the parts were replaced with genuine VW parts this time. Hopefully they will last longer than 10k miles! It's a lot better to drive with new CVs, much less torque steer.
The Pagids were brilliant all day, totally consistent with lots of pedal feel and inspired lots of confidence. They were much better on track than the DS2500s. I was catching most of the cars on track under braking
I checked them after the day and they looked in a much better state then the DS2500s.
A few on track shots
Those Toyo R888s grip surprisingly well in damp conditions!
One more track day next month and then it's time to take it off the road for a few mods over winter.
