I wonder how much this pad will eat rotors for street driving.

Here's a nice article from RennLst...

The Ferodo DS3.12 is an incredible compound, and they are verypopular among the Porsche GT3 crowd. A large number of our AP Racing brake kit customers have transitioned over to them as well. Ferodo has slowly been adding more shapes to their DS3.12 offerings, and we now have them for both the standard blue M2 calipers front and rear, and the M2 Competition calipers front and rear.

I just finished up an article on our Essex Blog about the DS3.12 the other day. I've been rolling around on the street with them on my C6 vette track/street and they work great on the road...excellent feel cold, not hurting the discs, and haven't made any appreciable noise. On the track they are fantastic...possibly the best pad I've ever used. They are truly world-class pads, and among the very best we've ever tested on our brake dyno as well. Ferodo has been winning GT races with them in Europe on Lambos and Audis as well.

Here's some recent feedback on the DS3.12 from a Porsche Cup driver after winning his first race on them.

We're in the process of getting these up on our website, but we do have them on order with Ferodo in the front and rear shapes for the standard M2 blue brakes.
