Ferodo Brake Pads - Renault Megane Mk3 RS250 / RS265 / RS275

Ferodo race brake pads are available in several compounds. Compound choice depends upon application and driver preference. The Ferodo DS2500 is the only pad compound which should be used on the road.

Ferodo's DS2500 is a high performance track day and fast road brake pad. The DS2500 is also suitable for some light duty front and many rear pure race applications offering excellent refinement for such a high performance pad. The main characteristics of the Ferodo DS2500 are:

• Race Road, Track day & light race use for all vehicle types
• Road style refinement - low noise
• Ability to withstand heat with good pad life and friction coefficient.
• Average friction coefficient of 0.42 over working temperature range of 20°-500°C

DS3000 is the Ferodo Racing compound of choice. It has contributed to countless wins and podium positions in many Touring car, rally & GT championships around the world. The main characteristics of the Ferodo DS3000 are:

• Heavy duty all-round material choice
• Short bedding time
• Multiple applications including touring car, rally, Group N, single seat, hill-climb
• Average friction coefficient 0.48 over working temperature range of 200°-650°C

The Ferodo 4003 is a compound that was specifically developed for lighter cars (Formula 3, Formula Ford, Formula VW, Formula Renault, Formula Campus) and occasionally for Rally use. The main characteristics of the 4003 compound are:

• Average friction coefficient 0.46 over working temperature range of 200°-450°C
• Very short bedding time
• Excellent bite
• Low drag & Excellent release
• Offers control to avoid wheel lock when downforce reduces

Several brake pads on the market boast 'ceramic' technology. The Ferodo DS1.11 is the real thing. It is based upon a chemical family known as Siloxanes. Unlike carbon based materials, siloxane chains do not decompose at high temperatures and so DS1.11 keeps on working up to the highest temperatures a brake pad could ever see. That means it won't fade and has excellent life, the best in the Ferodo Racing range. Moreover the performance remains exactly the same throughout the pad's (long) life. It is formulated to provide a very flat friction profile at a medium/high level of friction. The DS1.11 pad compression is very low, always, and so pedal travel is short and consistent. The main characteristics of the Ferodo DS1.11 compound are:

• Heavy duty endurance material
• Applications - touring car, GT, single seat
• Average friction coefficient 0.46 over working temperature range of 200°-700°C
• Long life
• Very kind to discs

DSUNO is the latest heavy duty racing material from Ferodo Racing. It has replaced the Ferodo DS2.11 and is already race proven in GT, touring car, Formula & rally. The technical objective for the material was to provide a high friction output, whilst improving pad and disc life and to offer excellent modulability throughout the brake event. The latter means the risk of wheel lock is significantly reduced compared to other pads with the same high nominal friction coefficient, without any loss of output. This is the ultimate feel-good pad.

• Heavy duty semi-endurance material
• Applications - touring car, GT, single seat, rally
• Average friction coefficient 0.48 over working temperature range of 200°-700°C
• Very controllable torque output
• Very kind to discs
• Long life

Ferodo DS Performance

The Ferodo DS Performance range brings all the knowledge and experience, from building up the Ferodo racing pedigree, over to tuning road orientated cars. For those seeking a replacement road brake pad, which has the feel of a racing brake pad compound but the refinement of a premium OE brake pad material, the Ferodo DS Performance range is the ideal choice. Ferodo have designed the DS Performance brake pad compound to combine many of the characteristics found in a pure racing material (high friction, absence of fade) but at the same time have improved cold performance, reduced disc wear and noise.

• Designed specifically for road use
• Road style refinement - low noise
• Excellent disc life
• High friction coefficient (0.46 average)
• R90 compliant (EU standard for road pads)
