Ferodo compound selection
FERODO RACING BRAKE PADS
As a general guide we recommend that you consider the following when making your material compound selection:
- 4WD cars:
same compound, front and rear - Rear traction cars:
same compound, front and rear -
Front traction cars:
high friction level in the front axle (i.e. DS3000), lower friction level on the rear axle (i.e. DS2500, 4003)
Available compounds
FERODO DS 2500
With Ferodo race pads low- and high-speed braking efficiency, reduced stopping distances and consistent brake pedal feel are yours from first time - every time. Available for all leading high-performance European and Japanese vehicles.
- Consistent coefficient of friction (0,42) at all temperatures
- Low noise / low dusting
- Long pad life
-
Kind on discs
This new generation of friction material is very low in compressibility ensuring a firm pedal, whilst still providing great life for both disc and pad. Combined with low wheel dusting and good noise characteristics this product is the brake pad for the driver who demands the ultimate in track day braking performance.
FERODO DS 3000
DS3000 is the FERODO RACING compound that has set the braking standard from race one back in the 1998 season. DS3000 has contributed to countless wins and podium positions in many Touring car and GT championships around the world. In addition to its reduced bedding in time (approximately 50 percent quicker than other materials), the main characteristics of the DS3000 are:
- Very High coefficient of friction (0,54) at all speeds and temperatures
- High initial bite
- Predictability and control because of the unvarying torque output
-
Low off-brake drag
WARNING DS3000 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ROAD USE
When using DS3000 on lighter racing cars lower brake pressures will be required to achieve the required deceleration.
The graph relates the friction level of DS3000 to vehicle speed and to the temperature at the pad/disc interface.
