Product Information

Full details

The Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads are engineered for racing and performance driving, offering a medium to high friction level across a wide temperature range and exceptional fade resistance. While they provide a firm pedal feel and are very kind to discs, their track-focused design means they are not approved for road use.

FAQs

Are Ferodo DS1.11 pads suitable for daily driving?

No, the Ferodo DS1.11 compound is designed exclusively for competition and track use. They are not street-legal and may not provide adequate performance or meet legal requirements for road vehicles.

What is the optimal temperature range for DS1.11 pads?

The DS1.11 compound offers medium to high friction levels over a wide temperature range, typically between 200 degrees C and 700 degrees C, with excellent resistance beyond 800 degrees C.

How long do Ferodo DS1.11 pads typically last?

These pads offer a low wear rate and excellent pad life, often lasting up to three times longer than compounds like the DS3000, depending on driving conditions and frequency of use.

What is the 'flat friction curve' benefit?

A flat friction curve means the braking force remains consistent as the pad temperature fluctuates within its operating range, providing predictable and repeatable braking performance lap after lap.

Do these pads cause excessive wear on brake discs?

No, the Ferodo DS1.11 compound is known for being very kind to discs, offering a low wear rate for brake rotors, which can extend the life of your brake discs.

What makes the DS1.11 different from other brake pads?

The DS1.11 uses ceramic technology based on Siloxanes, which do not decompose at high temperatures like carbon-based materials. This provides superior fade resistance and performance at extreme temperatures.

Do I need special rotors for these pads?

While they are designed to be kind to discs, it is always recommended to use high-quality, preferably performance-oriented, brake rotors that are in good condition and within manufacturer specifications for optimal results and safety.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can sometimes occur during the bedding-in process or if rotors are not perfectly flat. Ensure rotors are clean and within spec. Re-bed the pads following the correct procedure. If persistent, consider rotor resurfacing or replacement.

Reduced braking performance on initial application

The DS1.11 compound requires heat to reach its optimal operating temperature. Ensure the brakes have been warmed up sufficiently through gentle driving before hard braking is attempted. Check for any air in the brake lines or contamination of the pad surface.

Excessive rotor wear

While designed to be kind to discs, check that the rotors are compatible with track pads and are not warped. Ensure the correct bedding-in procedure was followed. Inspect for any debris trapped between the pad and rotor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional performance and fade resistance at high temperatures
  • Predictable braking due to a flat friction curve
  • Long pad life reduces maintenance intervals
  • Firm pedal feel enhances driver control
  • Kind to brake discs, extending rotor life

Cons

  • Not approved for road use
  • Requires a significant temperature range to reach optimal performance
  • May produce more dust than street-oriented pads
  • Initial cost may be higher than standard replacement pads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for specific vehicle applications. Ensure compatibility with your vehicle's brake caliper system before installation. Professional installation is highly recommended, especially for competition vehicles, to ensure proper seating and break-in procedures.

Compatibility: The Ferodo DS1.11 compound is intended for competition and off-road use only. They are not street-legal and will not pass roadworthiness inspections in most regions. Always confirm fitment for your specific make, model, and year.

Care:

  • Bedding-In: Proper bedding-in is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate to hard stops from increasing speeds, followed by cooling periods.
  • Cleaning: While these pads are designed for harsh conditions, keeping the surrounding brake components clean can help. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the brake assembly. A simple rinse with water and allowing to dry is usually sufficient.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect pads for wear and check brake rotors for signs of excessive wear or damage. Given their low wear rate, visual inspection is key to determining remaining pad life.
