Ferodo Braking System = Improved Stopping Power


This week the Subaru STi was taken to Sportech where the final phase of the Castrol Edge Auto Makeover will take place. The Chargespeed wide body kit imported by Creative Rides has already been prepped for a pre-fit before it is sprayed and final-fitted to the Subaru...


Although, first order of the week was to fit the Ferodo brake disks and performance pads. The vehicle is lifted off the ground and the original wheels are removed so the brake pads can be removed and replaced with Ferodo Racing Pads.


The Brembo brake calipers are removed from the wheel hub and held out of the way using a cable-tie. In order to get the original Subaru disks off, two bolts are inserted into threaded holes to leverage them off the hub. Once cleared, the hub is cleaned thoroughly to avoid any brake judder and prolong disk life.


The new Ferodo DS 2500 brake disks, which are coated with a hi-heat dry coating are placed on the cleaned hub before the brake calipers are set into their original position.


This upgraded combination of Ferodo disks and pads will ensure ultimate stopping power and ensure that there will be no brake fade during any of the Subarus road or race usage.
