Ferodo Racing Brake Pills

Ferodo Racing is a brake tablet brand that is characterized by its high performance in extreme conditions.

The original first-equipped brake pills are designed and designed to brake in a cold emergency brake.During normal driving in cotidican daily use, brakes do not reach large temperatures, situated in an interval between 0 and 150 ° C depending on the driver's use and braking habit.

At the time we do an intense use of the brakes, sports driving, mountain stairs, circuit tandas etc., the temperature rises to more than 200° compromitting the effectiveness of the pill, it is the time when the performance falls down by fatigue, known as fading effect.

It is then when the brake pedal becomes hard, the brake distance increases and the friction material is crystallized and/or disintegrated from its metal support.

General characteristics of the Ferodo DS pills

The performance

It is the pill indicated for drivers who want to improve the braking of the original equipment, has a higher thermal and friction coefficient than the original pills, it is characterized by;

• Increased bite power on the disk.
• It is achieved an approximately 20% increase in performance and 40% of OEM
  
• It is suitable for daily use and for sports on open road.
• It is recommended for tourism with potences located in the interval of 100-150 cv
• Very polishing great effectiveness in both cold and hot.

BY DS 2500

It is the most popular Ferodo pill due to its great polyvalence.Obviously improves the original equipment brake, it is characterized by;

• It is the most popular pill among users with driving sport for tandas and trackdays
• It significantly increases performance with respect to OEM pills.
• It has greater melting power and thermal and melting coefficients than the OEM and DS Performance.
• It can be used for daily use, but it should be taken into account that its effectiveness is hot.
• Maximum performance and efficient friction of 0.42 between 20 and 500 oC
• It is recommended for tourism with power in the interval of 150-300 cv and Stage 1-2 type power
  

BY DS 3000

It is a top pill with a bite and coefficients greater than the DS 2500.Radically increases the brake performance, but it is more aggressive than the other on the disk, a more comprehensive surveillance of the brake wear is needed.Sit is characterized by;

• Suitable for driving in circuit tandas and hard track days and competitions.
• Ideal for very demanding drivers with the brake.
• It is not recommended for everyday use for novel drivers, in case of using it for street you have to extreme the precautions with the cold brakes.
• Maximum performance and friction coefficient 0.48 between 200 and 650 oC
• Short period of drawing.
• Multiple applications for circuit tourism, group N rally, monoplaces and mountain climbing.
• It is recommended for tourisms with extreme type Stage 2-3 powers greater than 300/400 cv
  
• It is recommended in conjunction with the use of extra slick and soft semislicks
• In case of hard and long competitions and trackdays, the Endurance compound is recommended, indicated for resistance.

DS 1.11 and DS One

These compounds are only recommended for use in competition.Not suitable for daily use

Comparative tables

The following table shows, for six types of Ferodo DS pills, the average values obtained in a brake pills waste test bank, the real friction coefficient*, the disc waste and the volume of displaced brake liquid**.

* This friction coefficient is an average value obtained throughout the braking period, and for the entire working temperature range.In optimal working conditions, in which the brakes reach their working temperature, the values of the friction coefficient are much higher than described.

** This brake fluid volume is the moving by a main brake cylinder during a brake operation and not the moving brake fluid volume on the brake

D = Front / T = Back

 The applications described in the table above are only recommendations.There may be drivers who have different needs or priorities, so other combinations are also possible.Thus, brake pills should be evaluated by the pilots who will use them according to other criteria.
