FAQs

Are Ferodo DS1.11 pads street legal?

No, Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads are designed and intended for competition / off-road use only and are not approved for use on public roads.

What is the recommended operating temperature range for DS1.11 pads?

The DS1.11 compound provides optimal performance within a wide temperature range of 200-700 degrees C, with excellent resistance to fade at temperatures beyond 800 degrees C.

How much longer do DS1.11 pads last compared to DS3000?

The DS1.11 compound offers up to 3 times longer pad life compared to the DS3000 compound.

Will these pads damage my brake discs?

The DS1.11 pads are designed to be very kind to discs, resulting in a low wear rate for the rotors as well.

What type of racing are these pads best suited for?

They are ideal for longer races in GT cars, Touring cars, and Formula cars due to their consistent performance and durability.

Can I use these pads with standard calipers?

They can fit specific vehicle-specific original equipment calipers and also aftermarket Motorsport calipers. Compatibility should be verified for your specific application.

What makes the DS1.11 resistant to high temperatures?

DS1.11 pads use ceramic technology based on 'Siloxanes', which do not decompose at high temperatures, unlike carbon-based materials.

Troubleshooting

Brake fade under heavy use

Ensure pads are correctly bedded-in and operating within their intended temperature range. Verify the cooling system is adequate for the application.

Increased stopping distance

Check for brake fluid contamination or aeration, ensure proper pad bed-in, and inspect rotors for wear or damage. Verify correct pad and rotor combination.

Noisy brakes

Some noise can be characteristic of high-performance pads. Ensure proper installation, including anti-squeal shims if applicable and compatible. Check for rotor runout.

Uneven pad wear

Inspect caliper slides for proper movement and check for rotor runout or warping. Ensure even brake application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional performance in high-temperature racing environments.
  • Predictable and consistent braking power.
  • Long pad and disc life, reducing maintenance intervals.
  • Responsive pedal feel for precise control.
  • Durable ceramic technology avoids high-temperature decomposition.

Cons

  • Not approved for road use; strictly for competition.
  • May require specific caliper types (Motorsport or OE).
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard brake pads.
  • Break-in procedure may be required for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These pads are designed for competition and may fit specific Original Equipment (OE) calipers or aftermarket Motorsport calipers. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle and caliper type before installation. For Motorsport caliper use, the standard vehicle fitment check may not be applicable.

Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced with performance brake systems. Ensure all mounting hardware is clean and correctly torqued. A proper bed-in procedure is crucial for optimal performance and longevity; consult the Ferodo technical documentation for the recommended procedure for DS1.11 pads.

Care: Keep brake components clean and free from debris. Regularly inspect pads for wear and the rotors for damage. Due to their competition nature, these pads do not require special cleaning beyond standard brake cleaning procedures, but care should be taken to avoid introducing contaminants during maintenance.
