Product Information

Full details

The Ferodo FRP3067R brake pads are designed for professional racing and competition use, offering an extremely high friction level and superior initial bite for maximum stopping power. While they provide exceptional performance on track, their aggressive compound means they are not approved for road use and require proper bedding-in. This guide covers their key features, benefits, and usage considerations for competitors.

FAQs

Are the Ferodo FRP3067R pads suitable for daily driving?

No, the Ferodo FRP3067R pads feature the DS3000 compound, which is designed strictly for competition and off-road use. They are not approved for road use and may not meet legal requirements or provide comfortable daily driving characteristics.

How long does the bedding-in process typically take?

The DS3000 compound is known for its accelerated bedding-in time, often up to 50% faster than other materials. However, always follow the specific instructions provided by Ferodo for the FRP3067R, as the exact procedure involves a series of controlled stops and cooling cycles.

What is the friction coefficient (mu) of the DS3000 compound?

The DS3000 compound offers an extremely high friction level, with a coefficient of friction (mu) of 0.54.

Will these pads work with my standard road car calipers?

The FRP3067R is a specific part number for a vehicle application. While it's a competition pad, you must verify that this exact part number is designed to fit your vehicle's specific calipers. It is not a universal fitment for all road car calipers.

What are the benefits of a 'flat friction curve'?

A flat friction curve means the brake pads provide consistent braking force across a wide range of operating temperatures and speeds. This predictability gives the driver more confidence and control, especially during demanding track conditions.

How often should I check my brake pads?

For competition use, it is recommended to inspect brake pads and rotors before every event or practice session. Monitor wear closely and replace them when they reach the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer or your team.

Troubleshooting

Brake fade under heavy use

Ensure the pads have been properly bedded-in and that the vehicle's cooling system is adequate for the conditions. Check for rotor condition and potential fluid issues.

Squealing or noise during braking

Some noise is normal for competition pads. Ensure proper installation and check for brake rotor runout or surface irregularities. Anti-squeal shims may not be compatible or suitable for this compound.

Reduced initial bite after bedding

Re-perform the bedding-in procedure according to manufacturer specifications. Ensure no contaminants are present on the pad or rotor surface.

Uneven pad wear

Inspect rotors for warping or damage. Check caliper function for sticking pistons or uneven pressure distribution. Ensure consistent application of braking force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stopping power and high friction.
  • Superior initial brake bite for immediate response.
  • Consistent performance across various temperatures and speeds.
  • Faster bedding-in procedure saves valuable track time.
  • Proven success in multiple motorsport disciplines.

Cons

  • Not approved for road use; intended for competition only.
  • May produce more noise and dust than street pads.
  • Requires careful bedding-in to achieve optimal performance.
  • Aggressive compound can lead to faster rotor wear compared to street pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Bedding-In: Proper bedding-in is critical for DS3000 pads. This process transfers a thin layer of pad material to the rotor surface, creating a uniform contact patch. Follow the manufacturer's specific bedding-in procedure, typically involving a series of moderate to heavy stops from moderate speeds, followed by cooling periods. Ensure you consult the detailed bedding-in instructions provided with the pads.
  2. Installation: Install the pads according to your vehicle's service manual. Ensure proper fitment and secure mounting.

Compatibility:

  • These pads are designed for competition vehicles and are not street legal. Compatibility with specific vehicle makes and models will depend on the caliper system for which the FRP3067R is designed. Always verify fitment for your specific application.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect pads for wear and rotor condition.
  • Keep brake components clean from debris.
  • Due to their performance nature, these pads may produce more dust and noise than street-oriented pads. This is normal for a competition compound.
