Ferodo DSUNO FCP4611Z Brake Pads BMW F8X M2/3/4 (iron rotors), M235i/M240i + M Sport & M Performance Front Calipers
FCP4611Z
Ferodo Racing has made great strides in pad development over the past few years, and DSUNO is their latest offering. For our customers who enjoy the performance of the DS1.11, but just want a little more bite, we recommend the DSUNO. It doesn't wear quite as long as the DS1.11, but it does offer a higher overall mu once it reaches track temperatures.

Description
DSUNO is the latest heavy duty racing material from Ferodo Racing. It has replaced DS2.11 and is already race proven in GT, touring car, Formula & rally. The technical objective for the material was to provide a high friction output, whilst improving pad and disc life and to offer excellent modulability throughout the brake event. The latter means the risk of wheel lock is significantly reduced compared to other pads with the same high nominal friction coefficient, without any loss of output. This is the ultimate feel-good pad.
Heavy duty semi-endurance material/li>
Applications - touring car, GT, single seat, rally/li>
Average friction coefficient 0.48 over working temperature range of 200°-700°C/li>
Very controllable torque output/li>
Very kind to discs/li>
Long life/li>
All part numbers in the range feature a suffix. This suffix identifies the material compound available for each part number. Many part numbers are available in more than one material and are therefore listed accordingly on our website with different suffixes as explained below: H = DS2500 C = 4003 R = DS3000 M = DS3000 Plus 03 E = DS3000 Endurance W = DS1.11 X = DS2.11

Bedding & Installation
Please follow your vehicle service manual for installation instructions, or have the work performed by a qualified technician.
Ferodo's recommended bedding procedure:
During manufacturing, all Ferodo racing products are subject to “chemical bedding” to stabilize the materials and resins used in construction of the pad. Although this “prebedding” is an effective method and sufficient for low temperature use, the ultimate results are achieved by actual bedding on either the car or dyno...
How ? ...
This subjects the pad to the correct heat and torque loads seen in race conditions. These methods transfer pad material into the face of the rotor leaving a “transfer film” the friction generated between the pad face and this transfer film determines the performance of the “bite”. Correct bedding also ensures that materials which may become compressible are stabilized with the heat and pressure to avoid a “spongy pedal”.
Why? ...
When bedding in the car always try to bed on used rotors. If bedding on new rotors follow the rotor bedding instructions of the manufacturer, as it is important to heat cycle them first before bedding the pads. After fitting the new pads prepare the car by blocking off 50 percent of the brake cooling / air ducts to speed the “heat up time”. When leaving the pit lane apply brake gently at low speed to ensure pads are fitted correctly, build up temperature progressively to approx 350° C (670° F). This enables the heat to distribute around all areas of the pad.
When brakes are at suitable temperature begin bedding process, achieve approximately 70 percent of race speed then perform 25-30 brake applications at half normal race pedal pressure holding on for 4 seconds. When this is completed use a slowing down lap to allow brakes to cool. Return to the pit lane and allow pads to cool completely, check rotor appearance. Transfer film should be constant around rotor face, any “patchy” deposit will result in brake pedal judder. The use of temperature paint on rotors enables more accurate bedding procedures.
