The Ferodo DS3000 brake pads are designed for dedicated motorsport competitors seeking peak performance and predictability. Their key benefit lies in an extremely high friction level and superior initial bite, leading to faster lap times and consistent braking. A primary caveat is that these pads are strictly for competition and off-road use, not for road vehicles.

No, the Ferodo DS3000 pads are specifically designed for competition and off-road use only. They are not street legal and may not meet road safety or emissions standards.
The DS3000 compound is designed for up to 50% faster bedding-in than other materials. However, always follow the specific procedure recommended by Ferodo for optimal results.
The DS3000 is known for its extremely high friction level and superior initial bite, making it ideal for drivers who want aggressive braking performance and a strong pedal feel.
While they may physically fit, using competition pads like the DS3000 with standard road rotors is not recommended. Competition rotors designed for higher temperatures and stresses are generally preferred for optimal performance and longevity.
Store the brake pads in their original packaging or a clean, dry, and sealed container away from moisture and contaminants to maintain their performance characteristics.
Lifespan is highly dependent on usage conditions, driving style, and track type. In demanding competition environments, wear rates will be significantly higher than with street pads.
Ensure pads are correctly bedded-in and rotors are in good condition. Verify caliper is functioning correctly and brake fluid is fresh. For extreme conditions, consider a more aggressive compound if available and suitable.
Some noise can be normal with high-performance pads. Ensure pad shims are correctly installed if applicable. Check for rotor surface imperfections.
Verify that the bedding-in procedure was completed thoroughly. Check for air in the brake lines or a failing master cylinder. Ensure even pad material transfer onto the rotor.
High-performance pads are designed for extreme use and will wear faster than street pads. Ensure operating temperatures are within the pad's intended range and that rotors are not excessively damaging the pads.
Setup:
Proper bedding-in is critical for the DS3000 pads to achieve their optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer's recommended bedding-in procedure, which typically involves a series of medium-to-heavy braking applications from moderate speeds, followed by cooling periods. This process transfers a layer of pad material to the rotor surface, ensuring consistent friction.
Compatibility:
These specific DS3000 pads (FRP3018R) are designed for use with AP Racing CP5090 calipers. Always confirm compatibility with your specific caliper model before installation.
