Product Information
Full details
The Ferodo DP8008RPX brake pads are designed for track day and competition use, offering a high friction level from cold with a flat torque curve for consistent braking. They are ideal for sprint racing, hill climbs, or vehicles with under-servo'd braking systems, providing excellent fade resistance up to 850°C. A key caveat is their aggressive nature, which may lead to faster wear on daily driven vehicles compared to standard pads.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these pads suitable for daily driving?
While they offer excellent cold performance, their aggressive compound is optimized for track use. For daily driving, they may be noisier and wear faster on rotors than standard street pads.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The Ferodo DP8008RPX pads offer excellent fade resistance up to 850°C (1562°F).
How do I know when to replace the pads?
Inspect the pads regularly. Replacement is needed when the friction material thickness reaches the minimum limit specified by the manufacturer, typically indicated by wear indicators or a specific measurement.
What is the NRS hook pad retention system?
NRS stands for Nucap Retention System. It uses tiny hooks on the back plate to create a mechanical bond with the friction material, preventing the pad from separating from the back plate under extreme braking forces.
Will these pads affect my rotor life?
These pads are designed for moderate rotor wear, balancing performance with durability. However, aggressive track use in general can increase rotor wear compared to normal street driving.
Do I need to change my brake fluid when installing these pads?
It is highly recommended to use a high-performance, high-boiling-point brake fluid (e.g., DOT 4 or DOT 5.1) when using performance brake pads for track applications to prevent fluid fade.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
Ensure proper bedding-in procedure was followed. Check rotor surface for uneven material transfer or damage. Consider resurfacing or replacing rotors if necessary.
Reduced braking effectiveness
Check for pad material glazing or contamination. Inspect for air in the brake lines or low brake fluid level. Ensure pads and rotors are correctly installed and have sufficient material.
Excessive noise (squeal or grinding)
Some noise is normal for performance pads. However, persistent or severe noise may indicate improper installation, worn rotors, or pad material issues. Ensure anti-squeal shims are properly fitted if applicable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent performance in cold conditions and at high temperatures.
- Provides consistent and predictable braking response.
- Enhanced safety due to the NRS hook pad retention system.
- Durable construction suitable for demanding track use.
- Reduces heat transfer to the caliper and brake fluid.
Cons
- May produce more noise than standard brake pads.
- Potentially higher wear rate on daily driven vehicles.
- Higher initial cost compared to regular street pads.
- Requires proper bed-in procedure for optimal performance.
- Not ideal for drivers seeking absolute quiet operation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Bedding-in Procedure: Proper bedding is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate to hard stops from moderate speeds, followed by cooling periods. This process ensures the pad material is evenly transferred to the rotor surface.
Compatibility: These pads are designed for specific caliper types used in competition. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's caliper model (e.g., AP Racing CP5100). Refer to detailed technical specifications or consult a professional if unsure.
Care: Keep pads clean and dry. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended, especially after track use. Replace pads when the friction material reaches the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer.
