DS2500 Brake Pads

The Ferodo DS2500 Competition Brake Pads are engineered to deliver superior braking performance for track days and off-road applications. This new generation of friction material is characterized by low compressibility, ensuring a firm and consistent pedal feel while simultaneously extending the life of both the brake pads and the discs. The DS2500 compound maintains a stable coefficient of friction of 0.42 across all temperatures, providing predictable braking and excellent pedal modulation. Key features of the DS2500 pads include low noise and dust output, long pad life, and a gentle effect on brake rotors. The semi-metallic composition contributes to moderate bite and moderate pad wear, even under high stress conditions typical of track use. It is important to note that Ferodo DS2500 brake pads are intended for competition / off-road use only and are not approved for use on public roads. Proper installation and bedding procedures are crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Ferodo recommends a specific bedding process to stabilize the materials and resins, which involves heat cycling on the rotors and controlled brake applications to build up heat and create a transfer film on the rotor surface.
