Racing Brake Pads

Ferodo FRP3136 Brake Pads Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat. The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice. The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars. Strong cold bite for street use Low noise when properly bedded Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad Great match for performance street tires Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement. Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad. Ferodo DS3000 Brake Compound Details The predecessor to DS1.11, DS3000 offers high initial bite with excellent feel and release. Popular among rally teams, DS3000 has a relatively low cold temperature threshold while still offering high temp stability for tarmac. DS3000 is very easy on discs at the expense of pad wear. Ferodo FRP3136 Comparison Chart Out of all the pad compounds we've ever tested, from all manufacturers, the Ferodo DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability. The DS3.12 has a higher mu (µ) than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much pedal pressure is required to initiate the desired response. It is also un-fadable, showing no drop in performance at any temperature your brakes will ever see. Ferodo FRP3136 Coefficient of Friction (Mu) Comparison Chart In dyno testing, the Ferodo DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to brake rotors. We believe the Ferodo DS3.12 will become the gold standard by which other race compounds will be judged.

Note: DS3.12 is a full race compound and may produce increased dust, disc wear, and reduced cold performance compared with street-oriented pads. Ferodo DS1.11 Brake Compound Details The DS1.11 has a lower mu than the DS3.12 at all temperatures and can be characterized as a moderate mu pad vs. other endurance racing compounds. They require more pedal force than the DS3.12, and they have a slightly declining torque curve as temperatures rise. As they get hotter and you dive deeper into a turn, you may feel like you need to push a little harder on the brake pedal to elicit the same response (which is a feel many drivers actually prefer). Some drivers feel that the DS1.11 is more controllable on street tires than DS3.12 since ABS cannot be activated as easily. It will last a fairly long time vs. many other pad compounds on the market but does not last quite as long as the DS3.12. They are very gentle on discs at track temperatures when a proper pad transfer layer is maintained. The DS1.11 also has an outstanding max temp and fade resistance, just not quite as high as 3.12. We're not aware of anyone who has faded them, and most people differentiate between the DS1.11 and DS3.12 based on feel.

Is DS3.12 too aggressive for street tires? It can be. DS3.12 has a high mu and strong initial bite, which may activate ABS more frequently with street tires. Best used with slicks or R-compounds. 3. Which Ferodo pad is best for endurance racing? DS3.12 and DS1.11 are both endurance compounds, but DS3.12 offers longer life and more consistent torque at extreme temps. 4. Are Ferodo race pads noisy? DS2500 is very quiet. DS3.12 is relatively silent when bedded properly. DS1.11 can be noisy, especially when cold. 5. What’s the best pad for HPDE beginners? DS2500 is ideal for beginners using street tires and moderate track use. XP8 (from Carbotech) is another great option if more bite is needed. 6. Do Ferodo pads require bedding? Yes. Proper bedding ensures maximum performance, even pad wear, and rotor compatibility. Always follow the Ferodo bedding procedure included with your pads. How to Bed In Ferodo Racing Brake Pads (DS2500, DS1.11, DS3.12) Properly bedding in your Ferodo Racing brake pads ensures optimal performance, pad longevity, and rotor compatibility. Whether you're using Ferodo DS2500 for HPDE or DS3.12 and DS1.11 for professional-level endurance racing, following a structured bedding procedure is critical. Below is a simplified step-by-step chart to guide the break-in process. Step Description 1. Safety First Never perform the following activities on public roads but rather ensure you are in a safe and controlled environment such as a skidpad or racetrack for bedding in.  2. Initial Bedding Heat Cycles Perform 5 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph without engaging ABS. Do not come to a complete stop. Allow light rolling between applications to avoid pad imprinting. 3. Medium Pressure Braking After light bedding, perform 10-15 hard stops from 80 mph to 10 mph using maximum pedal pressure to avoid ABS or locking the tires. Pads should begin to emit some odor and light smoke, indicating proper transfer layer development. 4. Cool-Down Phase Drive for 5 minutes whole minimizing brake use. This allows pads and rotors to cool gradually and evenly, preventing thermal shock and ensuring proper pad bonding. 5. Post-Bedding Rest Let the rest for 24-48 hours if possible. This helps fully cure the pad resins and stabilize the pad compound structure for maximum performance. Important Bedding Tips: Do not come to a complete stop while pads are hot.  Avoid heavy braking with new pads before completing the bedding process.  Always bed in pads and rotors as a matched set (used pads on new rotors or vice versa can cause poor performance).  Proper bedding improves brake modulation, reduces judder, and maximizes the lifespan of your Ferodo racing pads. Whether you run Ferodo DS2500 on the street or DS1.11 or DS3.12 on the track, take time to bed them in right—your braking performance depends on it. Important Note Ferodo Racing Brake Pads are for off-road use only. These products contain copper and are not legal for road use in some regions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine legal compliance based on their location.

Ferodo FRP3147 Brake Pads Ferodo DS3.12 Brake Compound Details The DS3.12 is the latest evolution in Ferodo's incredible DS line. Sports cars today have more of everything: more horsepower, more sophisticated aero, higher curb weights, and stickier tires. These attributes place serious demands on a vehicle's brake system. The Ferodo DS3.12 is the modern pad compound designed from the start to explicitly handle those demands. The Ferodo DS3.12 is a top-tier endurance racing brake pad compound built for maximum fade resistance, high friction, and extremely consistent performance at elevated temperatures. If you need a Ferodo track brake pad for aggressive braking, long sessions, and serious motorsport use, DS3.12 is one of the strongest options in the lineup. The DS3.12 compound provides strong initial bite, a highly stable torque curve, and dependable braking performance in demanding track conditions. It is ideal for experienced drivers, endurance racing, and high-grip applications where repeatable stopping power matters most. Maximum fade resistance in the Ferodo range High friction and strong initial bite Very consistent braking response at track temperatures Excellent durability in endurance racing use Best for: advanced track-day drivers and racers who want a high-performance race brake pad with elite heat capacity and confidence-inspiring consistency. Note: DS3.12 is a full race compound and may produce increased dust, disc wear, and reduced cold performance compared with street-oriented pads. Ferodo DS1.11 Brake Compound Details The DS1.11 has a lower mu than the DS3.12 at all temperatures and can be characterized as a moderate mu pad vs. other endurance racing compounds. They require more pedal force than the DS3.12, and they have a slightly declining torque curve as temperatures rise. As they get hotter and you dive deeper into a turn, you may feel like you need to push a little harder on the brake pedal to elicit the same response (which is a feel many drivers actually prefer). Some drivers feel that the DS1.11 is more controllable on street tires than DS3.12 since ABS cannot be activated as easily. It will last a fairly long time vs. many other pad compounds on the market but does not last quite as long as the DS3.12. They are very gentle on discs at track temperatures when a proper pad transfer layer is maintained. The DS1.11 also has an outstanding max temp and fade resistance, just not quite as high as 3.12. We're not aware of anyone who has faded them, and most people differentiate between the DS1.11 and DS3.12 based on feel. The Ferodo DS1.11 is a proven endurance racing brake pad compound designed for drivers who need outstanding fade resistance, long pad life, and precise control under repeated high-temperature braking. For track cars and serious HPDE builds, DS1.11 is a trusted Ferodo race brake pad with a strong reputation for consistency. This DS1.11 features stable braking performance, excellent modulation, and durability in demanding track conditions. Compared with more street-focused compounds, DS1.11 is better suited to aggressive lapping, endurance sessions, and drivers who value a progressive pedal feel. Exceptional fade resistance for track use Long wear characteristics in endurance-style driving Progressive, controllable pedal feel Excellent choice for HPDE and racing applications Best for: drivers looking for a track brake pad with durability, modulation, and high-temperature stability for repeated hard use. Note: DS1.11 is a race compound and is not ideal for customers seeking low noise, low dust, or refined street manners. Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat. The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice. The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars. Strong cold bite for street use Low noise when properly bedded Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad Great match for performance street tires Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement. Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad. Ferodo FRP3147 Comparison Chart Out of all the pad compounds we've ever tested, from all manufacturers, the Ferodo DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability. The DS3.12 has a higher mu (µ) than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much pedal pressure is required to initiate the desired response.
