Ferodo DS3000 vs Standard Evo X Brake Pads
Standard replacement brake pads are primarily designed to provide braking performance for normal road conditions, including everyday driving, low-temperature braking and typical traffic situations.
The Ferodo DS3000 racing compound, by comparison, is engineered for the sustained temperatures and braking demands encountered during competitive motorsport.
Its specified operating range of 200°C–650°C makes it suitable for demanding racing applications where braking systems are repeatedly subjected to high temperatures.
For drivers preparing an Evo X for motorsport, selecting the correct friction compound is essential to achieving the desired braking performance and maintaining an appropriate front-to-rear brake balance.

Improve Your Evo X Track Braking Setup
High-performance brake pads are only one component of an effective motorsport braking system.
For the best results, ensure your Mitsubishi Evo X is equipped with properly maintained brake discs, suitable racing brake fluid and correctly functioning brake calipers.
Use Suitable Motorsport Brake Fluid
Repeated heavy braking generates substantial heat throughout the braking system. Selecting a brake fluid with appropriate temperature performance is important for demanding competition applications.
Read our UK Track Day Brake Fluid Guide – DOT 4 vs DOT 5.1 vs Racing Fluid to understand how different brake fluid specifications compare.
Inspect Your Brake Lines
Brake hose condition is another important consideration when preparing your Evo X for motorsport use.
Our Braided Brake Lines UK Guide explains the differences between standard rubber hoses and stainless steel braided brake lines.
Check Brake Discs and Suspension Setup
Before competitive driving, inspect brake disc condition, pad contact surfaces, caliper operation and suspension components.
A correctly maintained braking and suspension system helps support predictable handling and braking performance.

Ferodo DS3000 Brake Pad Bedding-In and Installation
Correct installation and bedding-in are essential when fitting competition brake pads.
Before using your Ferodo FCP4168R rear brake pads in a motorsport environment:
- Inspect the rear brake discs for excessive wear, damage or cracking.
- Check that the brake calipers operate correctly.
- Confirm that the brake pads match the installed caliper and required pad profile.
- Install the brake pads according to the vehicle and brake manufacturer’s instructions.
- Follow Ferodo Racing’s recommended bedding-in procedure.
- Inspect the brake system before competitive use.
Avoid using newly installed racing pads in competition without completing the appropriate bedding-in procedure.
