Ferodo FCP1483W Brake Pads

Upgrade your braking experience with the Ferodo FCP1483W brake pads, specifically designed for high-performance vehicles like the BMW M3 E46 and M5 E39. These replacement pads are engineered to work seamlessly with OEM calipers, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Key Features

  • Outstanding Fade Resistance: The DS1.11 compound offers excellent maximum temperature tolerance and fade resistance, ensuring consistent performance even under extreme conditions.
  • Durability: While the DS1.11 lasts longer than many other racing compounds, it may not outlast the DS3.12. However, it remains gentle on discs when a proper transfer layer is maintained.
  • Responsive Feel: With a lower coefficient of friction than the DS3.12, the DS1.11 requires slightly more pedal force, making it ideal for drivers who prefer a more tactile braking experience.
  • Cold Performance: Be prepared for some noise when driving cold; these pads may squeal and scrape until warmed up. They are not the best choice for casual drives but excel on the track.
  • Price Point: The FCP1483W is competitively priced, utilizing similar materials as the DS3.12, making it a valuable investment for serious racers.
