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:
- Ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the wheels are removed.
- Remove the old brake pads from the caliper.
- Clean the caliper and mounting points thoroughly.
- Install the new Ferodo DS2500 pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
- Reinstall the caliper and wheels.
- 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.
