FAQs

Are these brake pads compatible with all cars?

No, these pads are specifically designed for vehicles equipped with the ATE brake system and must be verified against your vehicle's specific make and model.

Do I need to replace my rotors when installing these pads?

While not always required, it is highly recommended to inspect rotors for scoring or warping; if the rotors are worn, installing new pads will result in poor performance and shortened pad life.

What is the purpose of the chamfers on the pads?

Chamfers help reduce edge-to-rotor contact intensity, which significantly decreases vibration and helps prevent high-pitched brake squeal.

Can I install these pads myself?

Ferodo strongly recommends that installation be performed by a qualified professional, as improper installation can compromise vehicle safety.

How heavy is the Ferodo FDB1073 set?

The complete set weighs 1.676 kg.

What does R90 compliance mean?

R90 compliance means the pads have been tested to prove their performance and quality are equivalent to the original equipment parts fitted by the vehicle manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal immediately after installation

Ensure that the shims are correctly seated and that the caliper hardware has been cleaned of debris; allow a short break-in period for the pads to mate with the rotors.

Spongy brake pedal feel

This is likely trapped air in the hydraulic system rather than the pad itself; bleed the brake system according to the vehicle service manual.

Uneven pad wear

Check that the caliper slide pins are properly lubricated and moving freely, as a stuck caliper is the most common cause of uneven wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat dissipation prevents brake fade
  • Engineered with shims and chamfers for quiet operation
  • Meets OE manufacturer standards and R90 safety certifications
  • Precision-fit for ATE brake systems
  • Integrated mounting for wear indicators

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for safety assurance
  • Heavier weight (1.676 kg) compared to economy aftermarket options
  • Specific to the ATE brake system; not universal fitment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, verify that your vehicle uses the ATE brake system before purchase. The dimensions are 157mm in length, 63.5mm in height, and 19.5mm in thickness. Installation must involve a qualified professional to ensure all clips are seated correctly and that the caliper piston is properly reset. After installation, perform a 'bedding-in' process: perform several controlled, moderate stops from low-to-medium speeds to deposit a thin layer of friction material onto the rotors, which maximizes pad performance and longevity. Avoid heavy or emergency braking for the first 100-200 miles following installation to prevent pad glazing.
