Ferodo FCP5537G DS3.12 Brake Pads FAQs:

Are these pads compatible with the C8 Z51 rear calipers? Yes, these are direct replacements for the OEM Brembo 4-piston rear calipers and 350mm discs on the 2020+ Corvette C8 with the Z51 Performance Package.

Can I use my factory wear sensors with these pads? No, the FCP5537G DS3.12 pads do not support the OEM wear sensor hardware.

Are these pads street-legal? While they can be used on the street, DS3.12 pads are intended for high-performance and track use due to their aggressive characteristics and higher noise and dust output.

How do these compare to stock pads? These pads deliver much higher friction, better fade resistance, and a more linear feel during aggressive driving, making them ideal for track-day enthusiasts and racers.
