I will be using my lot at my shop to store the trailer when not being used so the extra 4' wont make a big difference. Just not sure if its necessary or not. Price isnt much different in the two sizes but it seems like 24' have more options on the market

I got Ferodo DS1.11s on the stock brakes and after two track days I'm at about 25% pad left. Is this normal? I thought these were supposed to be endurance pads that last long. Laguna Seca chewed through these. You guys think it should be ok for one more day? I'm going to Sonoma next which isn't too tough on brakes I think.

There's definitely a few sessions left in them, but they will wear down faster now that they are low. Keep a close eye on them but you're fine to drive them a bit more. |

Endurance pad means it is designed for longer races where temperatures remain high. Sprint races (like an HPDE) see cycles of hot/cold. Pad wear is not linear. That final 25% will get consumed very quickly, so keep an eye on it -- both inboard and outboard pads. Worn pads also transmit more heat into the caliper and fluid. Bring spare pads and be prepared to change them. Ask yourself this...if you keep those on and squeak out one or two sessions in a day, how long will it take you to wait for them to cool and change at the track? Is it more cost/time effective to just put fresh ones on before the event? (my guess is yes)

to echo what others have said, those pads are down to backing plate thickness and they won't last much longer. ferodo pads tend to chunk off once they get a little lower than that. by "chunk off", i mean the pad material starts to come off of the backing plate, and once it starts to go, it all falls off pretty quick if you ignore it and you'll have no brakes for one corner and a backing plate on your rotor in the next corner. another issue you'll create with running really low pads is putting more heat into the pistons and either cook your brake fluid, or fry your brake piston seals (or both). bottom line- keep those as a spare set, and get a new set of pads. at a minimum, know how to change pads at the track.

I picked up a set of dtc 70's for my front axle and matched it to the ds.uno's I already had on the rears. Spent a weekend at a hard braking track. The dtc's performed wonderfully. Biggest bonus: It's amazing how the front brakes make hardly a squeak driving around town, and the rears sound like freight train coming to a stop.
Aside from dealing with low initial bite when cold I could see myself keeping the 70's on the car all the time for the few times a week I drive the car to get breakfast or groceries and not have to deal with swapping pads back and forth after a track weekend. When the uno's finally give out in the rear I can guarantee you what I'm replacing them with. The price is the cherry on top, after going through a few sets of ferodos. I can get 3 sets of DTC for every two sets of DS.UNO/1.11. Anyone else have this experience? |

One it's down to backing plate width then they're now moved to emergency spare duty.

Ya. When wife's lease came up I offered her the Cayenne and she reluctantly agreed. She couldn't understand why I insisted it was superior in every way to her Lexus. Then she drove it fit a few days and fell in love. So now I have the best of all worlds since I still get to dd an M3 use the Cayenne for track days.
