Racing Brake Pads

PFC 0458.08.13.44 Rear Brake Pads Fits Mazda Miata (1990-93), Rear PFC 08 Compound One of PFC's most popular compounds which came to fame in Endurance Sportscar and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. PFC08 has a slight friction rise with temperature, excellent release and modulation characteristics. Despite its considerable performance, 08 has the lowest wear rate of all PFC compounds and can easily match the wear characteristics of the other competitors' materials but with much higher bite and consistent performance across a broad temperature range.

Pagid Racing Brake Pad Shape No. 8077 Fits the Following Vehicles: Make Model Build (Year) Front Rear Fiat Abarth 124 Spider 16 - 20 X Fiat Abarth 124 Spider [Brembo brakes] 16 - X Mazda MX-5 Miata NC 06 - 15 X Mazda MX-5 Miata ND 16 - X Mazda MX-5 Miata ND [Brembo brakes] 16 - X Mazda MX-5 Miata Global Cup Car 16 - X Pagid Racing Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance driving, delivering exceptional stopping power, durability, and control under the most demanding conditions. Trusted by professional racers and performance enthusiasts worldwide, these pads are crafted using advanced friction materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure consistent performance, low fade, and excellent modulation. Whether you're on the track or tackling aggressive street driving, Pagid Racing Brake Pads provide the reliability and confidence you need to push your vehicle to its limits. Pagid Racing Brake compounds are for steel (cast iron) rotors only unless otherwise noted. Pagid R01 Compound A new Pagid compound, R01 is a flat medium-torque, high performance friction compound offering good modulation, control, and fade resistance. Suitable for medium temperature range applications such as high performance street driving, autocross, track days, Club Racing an Rally. Specifically designed for the Mazda MX-5 ND. RSL 29 Compound: The Pagid RSL 29 (Yellow) is the world-leading endurance brake pad used by most of the winning teams in motorsport. Although designed primarily for endurance racing, many competitors use this material successfully for sprint and short distance races also. RS29 has also found favor in the growing track day market due to the level of control, good cold performance, long life and low disc wear. RS 44 Compound: The Pagid RS 44 (Orange) is a carbon-based, highly controllable pad with a progressive friction curve. It has a medium initial bite and good low temperature response. A very versatile pad for use on both front and rear axles, or in conjunction with RS14 on the front axle in FWD cars. Particularly popular in Porsche club racing, fitted as OEM on the Porsche 993 RS and GT2.

Girodisc Titanium Brake Pad Shields FITMENTS: Porsche 991, 992, GT4 (Front) The problem of brake fluid boiling is caused by braking heat transferring from the rotors and pads directly into the fluid through the caliper pistons. When brake fluid boils, it releases air that is normally part of the molecular structure of the fluid. This air is compressible, of course, so brake pedal pressure compresses this air instead of pushing brake fluid and moving the caliper pistons. The brake pedal goes to the floor. Production street cars tend to suffer from this on track days because they don't have the extensive cooling ducts and exotic brake materials found on race cars. Race-only brake calipers generally come with titanium caliper pistons for one reason: titanium has very low thermal conductivity, which means it's bad at transferring heat. That's good if you're trying to keep your brake fluid from boiling. Here's a comparison of materials and their relative thermal conductivity ratings in Watts per meter-Kelvin (lower is better): Titanium 6AL-4V = 6.7 W/mK Steel = 52 W/mK Aluminum = 130 W/mK Most fixed calipers use aluminum pistons which are, unfortunately, excellent at transferring braking heat to your brake fluid. Our solution is to place Girodisc's thin titanium shims between each brake pad and the caliper pistons. This helps prevent braking heat from transferring into the pistons and, thus, into the fluid. For cars that are going to see hard driving or multiple track days, these shims are affordable protection against losing your brake pedal at the worst possible time, making your track day very expensive. Water-jet cut to exact size, so there's no cutting, grinding, or swearing involved. Price is per axle (four shims)
