Compound Data Sheet
|
Use & Caution:
- Medium friction, smooth engagement, low abrasion on iron rotors.
- Flat torque curve.
- Low to medium wear rate, increases as temperature increases.
- Street Use OK
|
Application:
- High performance street / strip, drag race, and track day categories using vented iron rotors.
- Light to medium braking on dirt tracks including late models, modifieds, sportsman, and street stocks.
- Disc brake conversions on street rods and muscle cars.
|
Characteristics:
- Medium friction compound with the low noise and low dust of a street performance compound and the increased friction characteristics of a semi-metallic race compound.
- Smooth engagement with consistent response from a flat torque curve throughout its entire effective temperature range.
- Good low to middle temperature wear rates.
- Beds quickly and provides fast response without excessive abrasion on vented iron rotors.

Temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection.
The pads must be capable of maintaining the proper amount of friction for stopping power within
the temperatures that will be realized on the track during the event. Then, overall wear rate
must be considered. For most asphalt and road race applications, compounds in the high temperature
ranges over 1000°F range are usually necessary. Dirt track, drag race, and street performance
applications usually operate at temperatures between 500° and 1000°F. Keep in mind that these are
general ranges, and not absolute values. Many factors and unforeseen influences can affect brake
temperatures. The best indicator for pad selection will always be on track performance.
If pad fade (friction loss) due to overheating occurs, then improved cooling, a heavier rotor,
or a higher temperature range pad may all become necessary.
