Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

Are these brakes compatible with all 2011-2016 Ferrari FF models?

Yes, these brakes are specifically designed for the 2011-2016 Ferrari FF models. They are compatible with both the standard and high-performance variants. The brake system includes front and rear rotors, calipers, and pads engineered to meet Ferrari's specifications. Always verify the part numbers with your vehicle's VIN to ensure compatibility.

Q2

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Ferrari FF brakes?

Ferrari recommends inspecting the brake system every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Replace brake pads every 20,000-30,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Rotors should be checked for wear and replaced if they fall below the minimum thickness. Regularly flush the brake fluid every two years to maintain optimal performance.

Q3

How do I replace the brake pads on a Ferrari FF?

To replace the brake pads, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and carefully remove the old pads. Compress the caliper piston using a brake tool. Install the new pads and reassemble the caliper. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications. Test the brakes before driving to ensure proper installation.

Q4

What should I do if my Ferrari FF brakes are squeaking?

Brake squeaking can result from worn pads, dirty rotors, or improper installation. Inspect the pads for wear and replace if necessary. Clean the rotors with brake cleaner to remove debris. Ensure the pads are properly seated and apply brake grease to the back of the pads to reduce noise. If the issue persists, consult a professional.

Q5

How can I optimize the braking performance of my Ferrari FF?

To optimize braking performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for high-performance driving. Regularly inspect and maintain the brake system. Upgrade to performance brake fluid with a higher boiling point. Avoid overheating the brakes by using proper driving techniques, such as engine braking on downhill stretches.
