Ferodo DS 1.11 Front Brake Pads - Megane RS, Clio 3 RS & STI

The risk of thermal fading on the track

Using original equipment or inferior brake pads during an intensive track session on your Megane RS, Subaru STI, or Lancer Evo inevitably leads to brake fading. By keeping a friction material that is not suited for extreme heat on your sports chassis, you accept a sudden loss of braking efficiency after just a few fast laps. Without upgrading to the Ferodo DS 1.11 compound, you risk dangerously lengthening your stopping distances at the end of the straightaway, compromising the safety of your race car.

The lack of thermal endurance causes premature wear to your brake discs and results in a spongy brake pedal. By neglecting the quality of your front brake pads, you lose the necessary pedal feel to delay your braking points and jeopardize your consistency against the stopwatch.

Siloxane Ceramic technology at the service of your lap times

The DS 1.11 front pads rely on an exclusive chemical formula that thrives under extreme heat. Unlike other competition ranges that wear out at high speed as soon as temperatures rise, this material offers outstanding longevity and respects your brake discs. This is the ultimate technical customization upgrade to achieve a sharp pedal response and surgical modulation of braking pressure on your sports chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do DS 1.11 pads require a warm-up period?
Although this is a dedicated race compound, cold bite remains entirely safe for transitional driving. However, they deliver their full potential once they reach their optimal operating temperature range.

Can I mount these pads on my OEM brake discs?
Yes, they are compatible with standard dimensions. However, for maximum efficiency and to avoid thermal warping, we strongly recommend pairing them with high-quality grooved or slotted brake discs.
