Default Any feedback on Ferodo DS1.11?

Hi guys, I need to change my pads soon and have heard some good things about these. Very low disc wear, long lasting and reasonably priced. I’ve tried both RS29 and PFC08/11 in the past. RS29 cycled out too soon and I’m avoiding PFC again due to their harshness on rotors.

does anyone have any experience with DS1.11?

I tried a set on my prior 996 C2 and did not like them because they lacked initial bite, but they may do better on the bigger brakes of the GT3. On the GT3 I am currently running RS29 front / RS14 rear and am thinking about trying some DS1.11's again when those are gone.

I am running Girodiscs with the larger rear 350mm rear rotors and the RS14's are a bit too rear biased with that setup, I have to modulate to keep the rear end down on hard braking. Cranking up the high speed compression on the front with my JRZs helps some.

So I have offered no real answer to your question, sorry. :-)

Hello Spiller,
After running the PFCs for several years, I ran the Ferodo DS1.11 under recommendation of Clarke at Apex.
No regrets!!
Compared to PFC, I feel like they are kinder to rotors, easier to modulate, wear well, and yet have excellent bite,
I am looking to replace the ferodos with a new set.

I changed to DS 1.11 after many years with Pagid RS 29's. Very happy with Ferodo. A lot cheaper than Pagids as well.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. How are the Ferodos for bedding in? That was one great thing about PFC...
