Key Features & Benefits – Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads
Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads are designed for track day and light race-style loads where repeatability and pedal feel matter through rising temperatures. This set is for the front axle and uses the FCP1444 pad shape.
The catalogue application list includes, among others, Honda Civic VII 2.0 Type R and Honda S2000, so matching the pad shape and brake system is the key check point. DS2500 is specified with an operating range up to 500°C and is supplied with no R90 certification.
When is this useful?
If you want a road-like pedal feel but need predictable bite during repeated hard stops and sustained heat, Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads are aimed at that use case. They perform best when the discs, fluid and cooling match the intended load.

Selection & installation tips
- Position check: confirm you are selecting the front pad set.
- Shape & sizing: compare the pad outline and the 135.2 × 52.0 × 16.0 mm dimensions to the removed pads.
- Brake system: verify the caliper system matches SUMITOMO where applicable, including the retaining hardware style.
- Disc condition: heavily worn or lipped discs slow bed-in and can reduce full contact area.
- Bedding-in: build heat progressively on new pads and avoid immediate maximum load on a cold system.
Before ordering and fitting, verify the pad shape, dimensions, brake system and axle position, then compare them to the technical specs above to ensure the correct set for your application.
