GiroDisc 1382 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the difference between the GP40 and GP10 compounds?
The GP40 is a high-bite sprint racing pad for aggressive braking and short sessions. The GP10 is a smoother, longer-wearing compound ideal for street and track day use.
Can I daily drive with GP40 or GP10 pads?
GP10 is the best compromise between street and track use. GP40 compound pads are engineered for track-only use. They may be noisy, dusty, and lack the cold bite necessary for street driving.
Do both compounds fit the same D1382 shape?
Yes. Both GP40 and GP10 are available in the D1382 pad shape, compatible with various performance calipers.
What type of racing is GP40 best for?
The GP40 compound excels in endurance formats such as 6-, 12-, or 24-hour races where consistency and wear resistance are key.
Do I need GiroDisc rotors to use these pads?
No, but pairing these pads with GiroDisc two-piece rotors is recommended for the best results.

Ferodo Brake Pad Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I daily drive on Ferodo DS2500 brake pads?
Yes. The DS2500 offers excellent manners on the street and solid performance on the track, making it a top choice for dual-purpose applications.
2. 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.
