Product Information

Full details

The Ferodo DS2500 brake pads (MPN: FRP3144H) are designed for drivers seeking superior braking performance in track day and competition scenarios. They offer enhanced low and high-speed braking efficiency, reduced stopping distances, and a consistent pedal feel. A key caveat is that these pads are intended for competition/off-road use only and are not approved for road use. Key features include a consistent coefficient of friction, low compressibility for a firm pedal, and long pad and disc life.

FAQs

Are Ferodo DS2500 pads suitable for daily driving?

No, Ferodo DS2500 pads are designed and intended for competition and off-road use only. They are not approved for road use and may not meet legal requirements or offer the quiet operation expected from street pads.

What is the main advantage of the DS2500 compound?

The primary advantage is its consistent coefficient of friction across a wide temperature range, providing reliable and strong braking performance with a firm pedal feel, even under heavy track use.

How do I bed in my new Ferodo DS2500 brake pads?

A specific bedding-in procedure is required. Typically, it involves a series of moderate stops from different speeds to gradually transfer pad material to the rotor surface without overheating. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for the exact procedure.

Will these pads wear out my brake discs quickly?

The DS2500 compound is designed to be 'kind on discs,' meaning it aims to balance performance with rotor longevity. However, performance pads generally create more heat, which can accelerate wear on any rotor compared to standard pads.

What caliper is the Ferodo FRP3144H designed for?

The Ferodo FRP3144H is designed to fit AP Racing CP9660 calipers.

What is the coefficient of friction for the DS2500 compound?

The Ferodo DS2500 compound offers a consistent coefficient of friction of 0.42.

Can I use these pads for occasional track days?

Yes, the DS2500 is an excellent choice for drivers who participate in track days and demand higher performance than standard road pads can offer.

Troubleshooting

Brake pedal feels soft or spongy after installation.

Ensure the brake system is properly bled to remove any air. Check for leaks in the brake lines. Verify correct pad installation and caliper seating.

Excessive noise during light braking.

This can be normal for performance pads. Ensure the pads and rotors are properly bedded-in. Check for uneven pad wear or rotor surface issues.

Reduced braking performance or fade during heavy use.

Verify the bedding-in procedure was completed correctly. Ensure the correct pad compound is used for the intended application. Check for brake fluid contamination or system overheating.

Pad material appears excessively worn after a short period.

Check rotor condition for warping or excessive wear. Ensure the caliper is not sticking, causing constant drag. Verify the bedding-in process did not overheat the pads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent braking performance in both low and high-speed conditions.
  • Consistent and firm pedal feel.
  • Reduced wear on brake discs.
  • Low noise and dust emissions for a cleaner vehicle.
  • Durable and long-lasting.
  • Ideal for track day enthusiasts and competitive racing.

Cons

  • Not approved for road use; strictly for competition.
  • May require a bedding-in procedure for optimal performance.
  • Can be more expensive than standard road brake pads.
  • May produce slightly more noise than standard street pads under light braking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These brake pads are specifically designed to fit AP Racing CP9660 calipers. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with this caliper model before purchase. They are intended for competition/off-road use and are not street-legal.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the wheels are removed.
  2. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper.
  3. Clean the caliper and mounting points thoroughly.
  4. Install the new Ferodo DS2500 pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  5. Reinstall the caliper and wheels.
  6. Bedding-in Procedure: A proper bedding-in process is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Consult the Ferodo technical documentation or a professional mechanic for the recommended procedure. Typically, this involves a series of moderate to heavy stops from increasing speeds, followed by cooling periods, to properly mate the pad material to the disc surface without overheating.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect pads for wear, especially after track use.
  • Keep brake components clean and free from debris.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture when not in use.
  • Store spare pads in a clean, dry environment.
