DS3000

DS3000 as been Ferodo’s most popular racing compound since 1998. The predecessor to DS1.11, DS3000 offers high initial bite with excellent feel and release. Popular among rally teams, DS3000 has a relatively low cold temperature threshold while still offering high temp stability for tarmac. DS3000 is very easy on discs at the expense of pad wear.

Features

• Heavy duty all-round material choice
• Short bedding time
• Multiple applications including touring car, rally, Group N, single seat, hill-climb
• Average friction coefficient 0.48 over working temperature range of 200°-650°C

WARNING: DS3000 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ROAD USE

Below are the official compound descriptions from Ferodo Racing Italy. Please note that the primary value of these graphs is to compare the Ferodo Racing compounds against each other. Comparing the absolute numbers below to published numbers from other manufacturers is of little value, and would be akin to comparing engine dyno graphs from different dyno types (Dynojet vs. Mustang Dyno, etc.). Again, if you’re unsure which compound is right for your needs, please contact us for a recommendation.
