Ferodo FCP5536G DS3.12 Brake Pads FAQs:

Will these fit the OEM Brembo front brakes on the C8 Corvette Z51? Yes, they are designed specifically for the 4-piston front calipers and 345mm rotors on the Z51 Performance Package.

Can I reuse the OEM wear sensors? No, these pads do not support OEM wear sensors.

Are these pads street-friendly? While possible, they’re engineered primarily for track use and aggressive driving.

How do they compare to OEM pads? DS3.12 pads offer significantly higher friction, heat tolerance, and performance for sustained track use.
