does anyone know of a place where I can get some Ferodo pads for my race car?

 

Woah...that's some hardcore brake pads.

 

nothing but the best(we tried Hawk, Porterfield, Endless..)

 

well i have been running the hawk blues (long track) and hawk HP plus on stock calipers and brembo rotors for four years and i am pretty sure there isn't a better pad out there.

The hawk HP plus is almost scary braking force, i have stopped shorter distance then a 911 twin awd.

STU

 

i am talking about how long they last, their fade, their cold braking... combined with how much braking force they excert.

have you tried ferodo?

 

do they make honda (street car caliper) track pads?

Never even heard of them, but curious!

Which Enless pad(s) did you try?

 

I think the Endless pads were endurance pads. When I find the ferodos, i'll let everyone know where to get them. They are very good, we could outbrake mustangs, camaros, GSRs, BMW 325s, and some porsches.

 

Great. not too hard in a 1500 pound widebody Miata!

get it.. what car are you driving?

 

we have a type R, stock calipers and rotor size.

sweet! (I am biased!)

Hmm, I too am interested in hearing what these have to offer. I run Hawk Blues and have no complaints.

 

doesn't this have more to do with tires than brake pads? I'm sure most good comp pads (Hawk, Endless etc) have no problem providing enough force to lock the wheels....is the feel/confidence that much better or something?

 

we were all using Toyo Proxes, and some were using Hoosiers, so i don't think it was a tire thing. The pads have a good feel, they are very predictable, and you can be very confident with them. So far, I have only gotten one quote, from Italy and they are about $175, 72 hours shipping.

 

Ferodo DS 2500 (for street)
Temp range: 0'C -- 650'C

Ferodo DS 3000 (for race)
temp Range: 50'C -- 750'C

I know they sell them in Hong Kong (not sure how much)......

 

which compound are you trying to get? have you tried demon tweeks?

 

I have found the ferodos. They are in england, are 67 british pounds, if we get 6 sets. This equates to about 102 US dollars. If you guys want the email address, I can give it to you, but it will only be this cheap for 6 pairs, so maybe get some friends together. These are for type R front pads.

 

hmm, can they get 94+ GSR brake pads? FMSI Automotive Data Book #621? if yes, i'd be interested to try a set. is this for DS2000 or DS3000 compound?

 

I am sure they have GSR pads. This is for the DS3000 compound. here is the website: thttp://www.ferodoracing.it/company.php

 

Essex Distributors in Toronto carries Ferodo pads for ITRs. I haven't tried them myself yet but from what I've been told the race compound is easier on rotors than Hawk Blues and offers at least as much braking force and fade resistance. I'll definitely try a set once I've used up my reserve of Blues and Carbotech XP's.

 

oops i made a typo, GSR pads are 617. 621 is the rare del Sol VTEC pads. can you ask them if they have both applications?

 

That price is not bad!175cad? That's not bad at all IMO.

 

they are going to sell me a set of 4 pads for 86 dollars canadian, if we buy with our type R pads. I'm in.

 

http://www.ferodoracing.it/contacts_eng.php that is the contact number, so get somoe friends together, they are a good deal if you buy lots.
