Ferodo Brake Discs | Performance Disc Brakes
for your car, 4x4, SUV or Bakkie

Federal Mogul has awarded SAC the distribution right to a new range of “Ferodo DS Performance” products because of the performance nature of this new product range.

Ferodo products are well priced and compliment our conversions in every aspect.

After all, more Power and Speed requires better Braking Capabilities!

All cast iron discs contain internal stresses that result from the casting process.

These stresses can lead to disc distortion and cracking when the discs are subjected to extreme heating and cooling cycles experienced under braking.

Ferodo employs unique methods of stress-relieving its discs, resulting in greater stability and durability under extreme braking conditions.

This premium stress-relieving process was developed specifically for use during the production of DS 2500 discs.

Although time consuming, this process leads to substantially improved disc life under the most demanding driving conditions.

Proven under track conditions, DS 2500 discs are recommended for any car that has serious engine modifications or is used under track conditions.

Most disc manufacturers use a single-grade of cast iron in the production of their discs.

Ferodo discs are cast from a number of different cast iron alloys that are matched to the vehicle application.

This matching of material grade to the intended car model ensures maximum on-car performance.

Ferodo's TDS (Temperature Diagnostic System) records maximum disc temperatures in order to let the car owner know what heat range his particular driving style is producing.

TDS is an effective method of establishing expected disc and pad life and also helps to determine which Ferodo pad compound a driver should be using for maximum brake performance in a particular temperature range.

The TDS system is applied to both the inboard and outboard disc faces so that uneven heating of the disc (from a dragging caliper, for example) can be diagnosed.

In order to avoid brake vibration, it is important that the discs are properly balanced - much like the wheels on a car.

Ferodo DS Performance discs are perfectly balanced during the final stages of production to ensure smooth braking, maximum life of the discs, surrounding bearings and suspension components.

The radial slots machined into the disc faces of Ferodo DS Performance discs doubles as wear monitors.

The slots are machined to the minimum thickness of each disc as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

When it is no longer possible to see the slots, the disc has reached its minimum thickness and needs be replaced.

This feature eliminates the need to remove the wheels monitor disc thickness with a micrometer.
