DS2500 Front Brake Pad Set

The Ferodo DS2500 FRP3106H brake pads are a high-performance friction material suitable for demanding track day and light race applications. Designed with the DS2500 compound, these pads deliver a consistent coefficient of friction (0.42) at all operating temperatures, ensuring predictable braking and excellent pedal modulation. Their low compressibility provides a firm pedal feel, which is crucial for performance driving. They also contribute to cleaner wheels with low dusting and maintain good noise characteristics, making them a versatile choice for drivers who require ultimate track day braking performance. The FRP3106H is specifically designed for the front axle and includes an acoustic wear warning indicator for timely replacement. Key technical specifications include a semi-metallic composition, a moderate bite/mu, and a maximum operating temperature of 1300°F (approximately 704°C). While rated for street/club sport use, their primary focus is on track performance. Ferodo emphasizes that while their racing products undergo "chemical bedding" during manufacturing, ultimate performance is achieved through actual bedding on the vehicle or a dyno. Proper bedding is critical to stabilize materials, ensure a firm pedal, and create the necessary "transfer film" on the rotor for optimal friction. Dimensions are 189.8mm in length, 92.9mm in width, and 18.8mm in thickness. The Ferodo DS2500 FRP3106H brake pads are a direct replacement for OEM calipers and are noted for their application on the Nissan GT-R.
