The answer would depend on which Ferodo pad?
http://www.ferodo.co.uk/motorsports.html

I've used DS3000 on a vehical that has seen minimal street use - mainly to get 
it to track or workshop. I didn't give myself any nasty scares from cold pads. 
I've also used them for hillclimbs where there is a considerable cool down 
period between runs - again, no problems, although DS2000 might have been 
better suited to the event. If it's the DS2000 they are selling, I would expect 
they would be fine for the street.
