Porsche Disc Brake Pad Set - Ferodo Racing FCP4805H

I replaced the OEM front pads (made by Jurid) on my 981 Cayman S with these Ferodo DS2500 pads hoping that they would be a good street pad that is perhaps a little better for occasional track days. I also replaced the rotors with Zimmerman drilled rotors at the same time. They seemed to work well for street driving and they were quiet at first. After a few hundred miles, they started to get noisy -- they squeaked very noticeably below 20mph when braking 'normally' or lightly. After bedding the pads (10-15 relatively hard stops from 60-10mph) they would quiet down, but that would only last for about 100 miles of normal street driving. At that point they would start to squeak again. Since most of my driving is normal street driving, with only occasional track days, this wasn't really suitable for me so I swapped them for new OEM Textar pads that are quiet, as you would expect from an OEM pad. I haven't completely given up on the Ferodo pads -- I will use them for track days to see if they offer any improvement over OEM pads on the track. But for me the DS2500 pads were just too noisy for street driving. Sure, I could re-bed them every 100 miles, but that isn't what I wanted for a street car. If you drive fairly aggressively they may be quiet enough for you. Just know that for 'normal' driving they are likely to be noisy.

I use Ferodo 2500 series pads on my 981 Boxster. They are great on the street, and perfect on track. I brake LATE and HARD, with no fade, little dust, minor noise. I will continue with these. Better than Hawk or Porsche, in my opinion, for what I use them for - street, autocross, and track days
