Any info on a budget 348 brake upgrade.

Do you track the car? What brake pads have you been using?

 

Vented rotors (fronts at least) and some Porterfield racing brake pads. They'll squeal on the street, but who cares?

 

Ferodo DS2500 pads ( they are good also on the street), air ducts like 355

or
550 rotors + 911 calipers + adaptors: run a search, there was a thread earlier

 

Ive been using the pads shown on new standard discs for the last year. Front and rear. I think DS2500 are great but can be a bit squealy for my liking. Ive used them quite a few times. These are one step down from the 2500s. Im very happy with the set up so far and it serves my purpose. Work well under all road conditions including from cold. Was a standard pad set fitted before these. Pad materiel is the most important factor.
Here in the UK I don't think 2500s are technically road legal by the way. Not sure about the US. Hasn't bothered me in the past but it might some. Ive no intention of tracking the car which might require more of an upgrade, so these are fine.

Does anyone know where Ferodo DS2500 pads can be found?
Canada/USA

Also, are Front & Rear Pads different on the 348?

 

I bought them from super performance in England along with some drilled rotors.

They are on offer at Demon Tweeks (in the UK) - about 20% less than superperformance

BTW Its a very respectable well known company so no worries with them.

Ferodo owns website has a "where to buy"

Thanks Jefff.
Wow. Ferodo has a very comprehensive catalogue, quite a rabbit hole on a slow day.
I found the spec here:
https://www.ferodoracing.com/ecat/code-compound/car-racing/brake-pads/FCP451H

The pad shape DCP451 is listed for front & rear, for the 348, 355, 456. Also, 512 rear, and some Maserati & Porsche.
The DS2500 pad compound is suffix H
So the pad I'm seeking should be Ferodo DCP451H
The correct link/pricing on Demon-Tweeks should be:
https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/ferodo-ds2500-brake-pads-to-fit-girling-16-4-oe-calipers-ferfcp451h/

Ferodo Street Performance
The Superformance site seems to be offering this street pad, but it doesn't give the Ferodo code.
Demon-Tweeks doesn't confirm which cars, but it does have Ferodo FDS451

Your defnitely on the right track with the 451 - I run the regular FDB451 (which work fine BTW).

Nb Fromt and rear pads are the same.

I'd also recommend the Apec brake shoes which are a fraction of the price of Ferrari items - just be aware there are 2 different widths - I have the earlier (25mm) ones and IIRC there are the 30m for later cars (need to check).
