Brake Pads - Ferodo Racing
In the world of motorsports, Ferodo has achieved many outstanding successes. Through Formula 1, endurance racing, rallying, saloons and other circuits, Ferodo brake products have been the choice of champions.
Their commitment to producing world class friction materials has now resulted in the introduction of DS3000 brake pads, a new era in braking performance and a winning choice for all leading professionals and serious competitors. Superior braking power is, without doubt, the key to high speed driving and winning performance. Purpose designed for race and rally applications, Ferodo presents an all new brake friction formulation which provides predictable braking and maintains a high and stable friction level, even in the most extreme conditions.
Ferodo DS PerformanceFerodo DS Performance brake pads are designed for the driver who demands the ultimate in braking performance. They provide the kind of braking power normally associated with with racing cars - all without the need to build up and maintaini high operating temperatures.
Giving low and high speed braking effiicency, reduced stopping distances and consistent brake pedal feel from cold, DS Performance are the driver's choice for safe, high performance braking, with a friction level of approxiamately 0.45.
Many high performance brake materials are harsh and can cause faster than normal disc wear. Ferodo DS Performance pads are formulated to minimise disc wear without losing the friction like characteristics associated with Ferodo products. |
Ferodo DS2500Ferodo DS2500 material has a friction level of approximately 0.50 which remains constant at any speed and at any temperature that the brake system is working at. DS2500 compound is designed for racing applications thanks to its excellent speed and temperature sensitivity characteristics but it can also be used for fast road use, being a popular choice of owners of high performance cars.
The main characteristics of DS2500 are:
- Race development
- Performs equally well on heavy and light cars
- 20% less pad wear than competitive pads
- Minimal bedding-in. SUpplied ready to use
- Disc friendly
- Consistent friction level with changing temperaturess and speeds to give optimal pedal modulation
- High friction level at low temperatures (good cold braking)
- High friction level at high temperatures
- 35% less compressibility than competitive products (racing pedal feel)
- Less noise for increased driving comfort

Ferodo DS3000Plus - M compound Ferodo DS3000 is the Ferodo Racing compound that has set the braking standard since 1998. DS3000 has contributed to countless wins and podium positions in many touring car and GT championships around the world. It has reduced bedding in time, being approximately 50% faster than other materials.
When using DS3000 in lighter racing cars lower brake pressures will be required to achive the required deceleration.
The main characteristics of DS2500 are:
- Very High coefficient of friction (0.54) at all speeds and temperatures
- High initial bite
- Predicability and control becuase of the unvarying torque output
- Low off-brake drag
