Ferrodo Might Not Agree Hanky Purple Widget 27


Recommended Posts

(random spam tactics)

OK now that i have your attention ive fitted some ferrodo's 4000s (i think) to the front of my gtst and they are hopeless.

I've lost a ton of braking power and they just dont seem to pull the car up at all.

The guy at repco said they are dustless and wont make the wheels look poo and preform really well.

After bedding them in and following the proper procedure they seem to just skate across the disc itself instead of biting hard.

When i washed the car the rotors turned a urine yellow colour which looks like its from the pads and the dust.

The wheels also look horrible even just after like 2 weeks of the new pads.

Has anyone used these ferrodos and found them to be poo ?

I run the DS2500's and find them very grabby and noisy on cold but awesome once they have some heat in them.

I think Danrex upgraded to these, maybe check with him (could be wrong).

Did you upgrade the rotors too or just the pads? :)

i used to used freddo ages ago in my previous car and ye agree worst pads EVER. i use Bendix ultimates after that and they are awesome. think they go for $120 for fronts and $90 for the rears and they work a treat. putting them in my skyline next week.

i've just put rb74 in the front and C2 (i think?) on the rears. never had any different to OEM but they are good enough for the mo. havent had a chance to give them a thrash yet. will get back with results

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
