Information: These replacement pads are specifically designed to be used with Hi Spec Billet 4 calipers.
DS3000 is Ferodo's premium racing compound and has set the standard across circuit racing and the World Rally Championship. DS3000 has contributed to countless wins and podium positions in the WRC, BTCC, STW and is now experiencing major success in Indycar and NASCAR applications.
The main characteristics of the DS3000 compound are:
- reduced bedding in time (approximately 50% quicker than other materials)
- extremely high friction level (0,62 coefficient of friction) at any temperature or speed
- higher initial bite
- predictability, in all conditions, when braking into the corner because of the flat friction curve
- less off brake between the brake pedal and throttle
When using this material with light inertia racing cars, as a general rule, it is necessary to apply less brake pedal pressure than you would normally expect. This will avoid over-braking and the generation of excessive heat in the braking system and discs.
Pricing: Product pricing is for a set of replacement pads to fit 2 brake calipers (1 full conversion)

Are these the right pads for my calipers?
Pad shapes are caliper-specific, so match this listing to the caliper named in it. If you are unsure which caliper you run, send us a photo and we will confirm the right pad before you order.
Which compound should I choose?
By use, not by badge: fast road, track day, and race compounds behave very differently cold and hot. Our guide on brake pad compounds explained walks through the choice honestly, and bedding in matters, which our brake prep guide covers.
Every brake kit here is built to order
We do not keep big brake kits on a shelf. Each one is put together for your car in the disc face, caliper colour and specification you choose when you order, so nothing is made until the order is placed. The site shows these as available because we can take the order and start it, not because it is boxed and waiting.
How long it takes
Brembo GT kits are made in Italy and run around six to eight weeks. Our UK built kits are quicker, and the exact time depends on the caliper and disc combination you pick. Ring us on 0115 989 3488 before you order and we will give you the current lead time for the kit you are looking at, not a general one.
Working to a date
If the car is booked in, or it is off the road, tell us the date when you call. We will tell you straight whether the kit will make it, and what the alternatives are if it will not.
Worth two minutes before you order
Wheel clearance catches people out. Send us your wheel make, size and offset and we will read it against the caliper clearance drawing first, because a kit that is already being built for you is not something we can simply swap.
