Performance Friction PFC Compound Comparison Graph
The Performance Friction PFC 5001 racing brake pad combines specialized backing plate geometry with PFC's advanced Compound 332 friction technology for demanding motorsport braking applications. Featuring a 74.9 mm overall width, 46.5 mm friction material depth, and 14.5 mm friction material thickness excluding the backing plate, the PFC 5001 is designed for compatible performance brake calipers requiring this distinctive pad shape.
Available from Competition Motorsport in PFC 332 racing compound, the 5001 offers a friction solution developed specifically for rear-axle applications where braking stability, ABS compatibility, and controlled brake torque are essential. Whether preparing a race car for sprint competition, endurance racing, or advanced track use, choosing the correct brake pad shape and friction material is critical for predictable performance.
PFC 5001 Brake Pad Specifications
- Manufacturer: Performance Friction (PFC)
- Pad Shape: 5001
- Overall Width: 74.9 mm
- Friction Material Depth: 46.5 mm
- Friction Material Thickness: 14.5 mm (excluding backing plate)
- Available Compound: PFC 332

The PFC 5001 features a compact backing plate with two upper rectangular retaining openings, a stepped upper mounting profile, and a curved friction material surface. Its distinctive geometry makes accurate pad identification particularly important when replacing existing racing brake pads.
Always compare the PFC 5001 technical drawing and dimensions with your existing pads or caliper manufacturer's specifications before ordering.
PFC 332 Racing Compound – ABS-Friendly Rear Brake Performance
Performance Friction Compound 332 is a degressive racing brake friction material developed for rear-axle applications. Engineered to support modern racing ABS systems, PFC 332 combines controlled brake torque with favorable pad and rotor wear characteristics.
The compound's degressive friction behavior helps manage braking response as operating conditions change, making it particularly attractive for race cars where predictable rear brake performance and stability are priorities.
PFC 332 is designed to complement the demands of motorsport braking systems, especially applications where front-to-rear brake balance and ABS interaction play important roles in vehicle control.
Benefits of PFC 332 Brake Compound
- Rear-Axle Focused: Developed specifically for rear brake applications in compatible motorsport braking systems.
- ABS Compatibility: Degressive friction characteristics designed to support racing ABS operation.
- Controlled Brake Torque: Helps provide predictable braking behavior and rear-axle stability.
- Low Wear Characteristics: Designed to deliver favorable pad and brake disc wear performance.
- Competition-Oriented Performance: Developed for demanding racing environments requiring consistent braking behavior.
Why Choose Performance Friction PFC 5001 Brake Pads?
The PFC 5001 combines compact backing plate geometry with Compound 332's specialized rear-axle friction characteristics. Its 74.9 mm overall width, 46.5 mm friction material depth, and 14.5 mm friction material thickness make it a specific replacement option for compatible high-performance braking systems.
Performance Friction has established a strong reputation in professional motorsport through the development of racing brake friction materials and braking systems used by competitive drivers and race teams.
PFC 5001 Brake Pad Fitment and Compatibility
The Performance Friction 5001 pad shape is intended for brake calipers requiring its specific backing plate geometry, retaining-hole locations, and friction material dimensions.
Before ordering, verify the 74.9 mm overall width, 46.5 mm friction material depth, and 14.5 mm friction material thickness against your existing brake pads or caliper manufacturer's technical specifications. The 14.5 mm measurement excludes the backing plate and should not be confused with the complete assembled pad thickness.
Vehicle make and model alone may not establish compatibility, particularly when aftermarket racing calipers or optional performance brake systems are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions About PFC 5001 Brake Pads
What compound is available for the PFC 5001 brake pad?
Competition Motorsport offers the Performance Friction 5001 pad shape in PFC Compound 332, a degressive racing friction material developed for rear-axle applications.
What is PFC 332 designed for?
PFC 332 is developed for rear brake applications where ABS compatibility, controlled braking response, and favorable pad and rotor wear characteristics are important.
Are PFC 5001 brake pads suitable for street driving?
PFC 332 is a competition-oriented friction compound intended primarily for motorsport use. Racing brake pads may produce additional noise and dust and may not provide ideal braking characteristics at normal street operating temperatures.
Does the 14.5 mm thickness include the backing plate?
No. The 14.5 mm measurement refers to the friction material thickness only. The steel backing plate is excluded from this measurement.
How do I confirm PFC 5001 brake pad fitment?
Compare your existing brake pads with the PFC 5001 technical drawing. Verify the 74.9 mm overall width, retaining-hole geometry, friction material dimensions, and required assembled pad thickness before ordering.
