Product Information

Full details

The Ferodo DS2500 Competition Brake Pads (FCP4187H) are designed for performance-oriented drivers who participate in track days and require reliable, high-speed braking capabilities. These rear-axle pads deliver a consistent coefficient of friction of 0.42 across all temperature ranges, providing a firm pedal feel and improved stopping distances; however, drivers should note that while they are track-capable, they are a specialized high-performance component that may be more aggressive than standard OEM street pads.

FAQs

Are these pads street legal?

Yes, the DS2500 compound is widely used as a high-performance street pad, though its noise and dust characteristics may differ from stock pads.

Do these pads require special brake fluid?

While not strictly required, using a high-temperature racing brake fluid is recommended when upgrading to competition-grade pads for track use.

How many pads are included in this set?

This package includes four brake pads, providing a full set for the rear axle.

Can I use these with stock brake discs?

Yes, these pads are compatible with most OEM and aftermarket brake discs, provided the discs are in good condition and free of deep scoring.

Do I need to bed these pads in?

Yes, a proper bedding-in process is essential to ensure consistent performance and prevent uneven wear.

Troubleshooting

Brake pedal feels spongy after installation

Ensure the system has been properly bled of all air bubbles and verify that the pads are seated squarely in the caliper.

Excessive squealing during light braking

This can occur with performance pads; ensure that high-temperature brake grease has been applied to the back of the pads and the contact points of the caliper.

Uneven pad wear

Check that the caliper guide pins are not seized and that the caliper piston is moving freely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and predictable braking power across all temperatures
  • Excellent firm pedal feel due to low compressibility
  • Reduced wear rates on both pads and brake discs
  • Low dust output compared to many other competition compounds

Cons

  • May produce more noise than standard street brake pads
  • Performance is optimized for track use, which may be overkill for light daily driving
  • Requires proper bedding-in to achieve maximum efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation and bedding are critical for the longevity and effectiveness of the FCP4187H pads. Ensure that the brake discs are clean and free of glazing before installation. After mounting, follow a standard bedding-in procedure: perform several firm stops from medium speed to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the disc surface without dragging the brakes. Avoid hard, emergency stops during the first 100 miles to allow the friction material to seat correctly. Regularly inspect the pads for wear every few track events and ensure that the caliper slides are well-lubricated to prevent uneven pad wear.
