How you guys liking the Ferodo DS3.12?
APR is pushing on this pad and on paper it looks much better than the 1.11. Anyone get a chance to run these yet?

On my third set 3.12 and love them, but can’t really compare to 1.11 as I’m running those on the rear. If you’re not running the 9668 caliper, pad life may be an issue. I’m running a 25 mm pads and they don’t last forever, evidence - on my third set

Wear significantly faster than 1.11? |

The G8X is a disaster. 🤮

Are 3.12s in stock anywhere in the 18mm thickness? I have 9660s as well and wanted the Hawk equivalent (DTC-80s), but they’re always on backorder.
Also, are you running any front cooling? I snapped off a brake scoop and that corner ended up wearing much faster. I now carry spare scoops just in case. |

Not running any cooling at Southern California tracks, seem to be easy on brakes when compared to Laguna Seca. Temperature strips are showing moderate temperatures so far: Last edited by fanatic1; 06-30-2020 at 10:03 AM.. |

I’ve got strips as well and have yet to even pop the 170 indicator, even after thrashing the brakes at Monza. I use cooling everywhere, though. |

Are these good to swap into the OEM calipers or do you think they are overkill or might wear the stock rotors. I'm still on street MPS4S's as well and tracking about once a month or so (pre-covid).

That's what I figured. DSUNO seems to be a good in-between and wear a little better according to what I have read. Is it overkill as well for my setup?

If you haven't run the DS1.11 yet I'd start there. DS1.11 will actually wear at slower rate then DSUNO. Ferodo says they about equal on rotor wear. Also great that you can go from DS2500 to DS1.11 without having to bed things in!!!

Would I have to bed going from OEM to either of these?

I know I may be the only one... but I was disappointed with AP’s push toward Ferodo DSUNO pads on my full AP BBK. The pads required too much pedal effort no matter how hot I got them. Went back to HAWK DTC-70s and all is better! Just because AP pushes a pad doesn’t mean they will be what you want. Pads are such a personal preference and there is a reason why there are so many options out there!

Most people find this pad overpowering most R-comps and certainly street tires. More appropriate with full slicks. But as you say, plenty of options out there and to each his own |

Bed in? How does everyone bed track pads in? On the highway? I just brake extra hard the first session and then just drive normally from then on.

Bed in is getting a transfer layer onto the rotor that matches the pad. The DSUNO experience sounds consistent with this - on my car with similar DS3.12, it wants to put you through the windshield on first brake - took some adjustment. |
