Ferrari 360 Disc Brake Pads in US

Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Ferrari 360 braking system. The friction material your 360 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Ferrari 360, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.

What Are Disc Brake Pads on the Ferrari 360

A Ferrari 360 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your 360, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Ferrari 360. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your 360.

Signs Your Ferrari 360 Disc Brake Pads Need Replacing

• Squealing or squeaking from your Ferrari 360 when applying the brakes, wear indicator contacting the rotor
• Grinding, metal-on-metal sound from the 360 indicating pads are fully worn through
• Longer stopping distances than normal for your Ferrari 360
• 360 brake pedal requires more pressure than usual or feels soft underfoot
• Steering wheel or seat vibration on your Ferrari 360 during braking
• Visible pad thickness below 3mm on your 360 when viewed through the wheel spokes

Ceramic vs. Semi-Metallic Pads for the Ferrari 360

Ceramic Brake Pads for the Ferrari 360

Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Ferrari 360 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, 360 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Ferrari 360 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the 360, and are significantly gentler on Ferrari 360 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.

Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Ferrari 360

Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Ferrari 360. They are the preferred choice for 360 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Ferrari 360 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Ferrari 360, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.

Frequently Asked Questions - Ferrari 360 Disc Brake Pads

How often should I replace my Ferrari 360 disc brake pads?

Most Ferrari 360 brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear 360 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Ferrari 360 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.

Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Ferrari 360 at the same time?

Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Ferrari 360 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the 360, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.

Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Ferrari 360 in American winters?

Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Ferrari 360 drivers. For 360 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Ferrari 360 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
