Compound Data Sheet
|
Use & Caution:
- High friction, smooth intitial response.
- Steady rise in friction as temperature increases.
- Low wear rate
- Racing Only; Not For Street Use!
|
Application:
- Race ONLY compound for long wear in sustained high heat on hard braking ovals and road courses.
- Trail braking or "touch and go" tracks.
- Endurance applications.
|
Characteristics:
- High friction compound with smooth initial response a steady rise in friction as temperature and pedal pressure increases.
- Long wear rate for severe duty, sustained high temperature braking.
- Compatible with iron, steel, and titanium rotors.
- Performs best when initially bedded on new rotors or used rotors that have only been run with H compound.

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.
