Ferodo DS1.11 and CL RC5 brake dust.

[Fletcher]

I currently run CL RC6 pads in my 172, I really like the brake pedal feel, and braking power, but would like to run a pad that is kinder to wheels/ bodywork.

How do the CL RC5, and Ferodo DS1.11 compare? Or the other alternative I have is run DS2500 daily and then run CL RC6 pads for track work.

Cheers Fletch.

5+ have a load less dust, 1.11 slightly less it a lot less damaging to paint . No comparison in track performance though, 5+ are decent but lacking ultimate stopping power for me on track

I'm with Mark on this, the CL5+ aren't the best when at on full attack on track, they faded quite badly on me at Oulton last week, that was with new HC discs, fresh ATE Super-gold fluid and fogs removed to aid cooling. My money will be going on DS1.11 next.

I will probably try a set of DS1.11 next then. I don't do many road miles now anyway, but it would be nice to keep the same brake pads in all the time for road and track use.

Honesty mate if you use the car regular on the road then just bang a set of Ferodo premier OE in, they're only £20 and are the best out of the other OE manufacturer's (brembo, pagid, mintex, Bosch etc...) Then have the aggressive pad for track days.

Kinder to wheels?. I would use DS2500. Ultimate stopping power?. DS1.11. I have had DS2500, XP8, DS1.11,for me, the DS1.11,i won't use anything else..
