Product Description

The Ferodo DS3.12 Front Brake Pads for Porsche GT models are motorsport-grade front axle brake pads designed for high-powered, high-grip Porsche track builds running steel front brake discs.

Developed for heavier performance cars such as the Porsche GT3, GT3 RS and GT4, the DS3.12 compound delivers exceptional initial bite, consistent braking torque and strong modulation under aggressive circuit use. Its flat torque curve provides predictable brake response, helping drivers lean on the front axle with confidence lap after lap.

Designed to work superbly with modern ABS systems, DS3.12 is ideal for slick and semi-slick tyre setups, sprint and endurance use, and cars converted from PCCB to steel discs. The compound is capable of fade-free braking up to 850°C and offers the longest pad life of any Ferodo race compound.

These pads are for competition and off-road use only. They are not road legal, not ECE R90 approved and should not be used on public roads.
