Ferodo advertises that you can swap between ds2500 and 1.11 without issues and don’t need to re-bed the track pads.
I haven’t tried Ferodo, but I mix use PFC08 and BMW factory pads with no issues. |

Before switching to DS2500s on the street, I ran the DS1.11s and OEM pads back to back. Never had any issues with brake judders.

I didn't even swapped back to stock and used the 1.11 on the street without any issues. It wasn't too squeaky either.

I get the opposite on both cars that I run 1.11s at the track. Absolutely cringe worthy when I pull up to a stop light. Like so bad that dogs cry out in pain, windshields get cracked, everyone around grabbing their ears and then flipping me the bird bad. |

LOL. Yeah, same. I drive my car to Grattan (about 2 hours away), and typically throw my track pads on before I leave so I have one less thing to mess with when I get there. Sounds like a damn bus once they've warmed up.

I ask because I have an F30 335i with no significant powertrain modifications that I run at the track. When I used stock M3/M4 pads, they seemed fine although I currently use Ferodo DS1.11. If I could get away with DS2500 pads, I'd opt for those and leave those in for the entire track season or whenever I need to swap. Also, FCP Euro sells DS2500 pads so their warranty policy would be awesome if the pads were sufficient for a largely stock powertrain 335i that has the M Sport calipers. |

Main benefit is being able to swap between the 2500s and 1.11s without rebedding. |

I go between Pagid RSL29 & oem pads without issue but find the oem pads work better if I've done a couple days of street driving with the Pagids after the track. Cold stops with the hard pad cleans up the rotors nicely.

I ran pfc06 back in the days on my e46 m3.... they were crazy loud
The ds1.11 are silent when car and caliper are clean After a good week they start to make noise because of brake dust i guess but i have absolutely no problem running them in the street. They bite so much harder than oem pads... i just can't go back lol |

Took a short drive on the 1.11s from the shop to grab some food before switching back to the 2500s... absolutely awful as usual. tropicatango I think you must have the magic set - been through a lot of 1.11s and every single set has squealed.

I need to pick up a set of 2500 for when I'm not on the track. I typical don't drive the m2 unless it's going to the track though. Figured I can apply that dough to the Essex brake kit.
