Product Information

Full details

The Ferodo FCP342H brake pads are designed for competition and track use, offering consistent braking performance and good pedal feel across a wide temperature range. They are ideal for drivers participating in longer races or rallies who require reliable stopping power. A key consideration is that these pads are intended for off-road use only and are not street-legal.

FAQs

Are these brake pads suitable for daily driving?

No, the Ferodo FCP342H brake pads are designed for competition/off-road use and are not approved for road use.

What is the optimal temperature range for these pads?

The optimal working temperature for the FCP342H pads is between 200 - 400 degrees Celsius.

How do I bed in these brake pads?

A specific bedding-in procedure is recommended by Ferodo for competition pads. Consult the product documentation or a professional race mechanic for the correct procedure, typically involving a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds.

Will these pads fit my standard road car calipers?

These pads are primarily designed for specific motorsport calipers (e.g., AP Racing). While they may fit some original equipment calipers, a direct compatibility check based on caliper model is essential. Do not rely solely on standard vehicle fitment guides.

What is a 'flat friction curve'?

A flat friction curve means that the braking force generated by the pads remains relatively consistent across a wide range of operating temperatures, providing predictable performance even as the brakes get very hot.

Can I use these pads for sprint racing as well as endurance?

Yes, while ideal for long-distance events, their consistent performance and good cold grab make them suitable for sprint racing applications where reliable braking is critical.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure rotors are clean and flat. Check caliper sliders for free movement and proper pad seating. A proper bedding-in procedure may resolve this.

Reduced braking performance

Verify pads have reached their optimal operating temperature. Check for rotor surface issues or pad material transfer. Ensure no air is in the brake lines.

Excessive noise (squeal or grinding)

This can be normal for competition pads. Ensure proper installation and consider anti-squeal shims if applicable and compatible with motorsport use. Check rotor condition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and predictable braking performance.
  • Effective braking from cold.
  • Stable pedal feel and modulation.
  • Suitable for long-distance racing and rallying.
  • Durable compound for demanding conditions.

Cons

  • Not approved for road use.
  • Requires specific caliper types (check compatibility).
  • Optimal performance requires reaching a minimum temperature.
  • May exhibit higher noise levels compared to street pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic following manufacturer guidelines for brake pad replacement. Ensure all mounting hardware is clean and properly torqued.

Compatibility: These pads are designed for specific motorsport calipers, including AP Racing CP2195 and CP2696. They may also fit certain vehicle-specific original equipment calipers. *For motorsport caliper use, always disregard standard vehicle fitment checks and verify caliper type directly.*

Care: Brake pads are a wear item. Regularly inspect pads for thickness and signs of damage. Clean caliper mounting hardware to ensure free movement. Due to their competition nature, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or contaminants when not in use. Bedding-in procedures, as recommended by Ferodo for this compound, are crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
