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 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.
Pagid RSL 1 Compound:
Used in GT cars, touring cars and prototype endurance racing. Due to the high friction and good modulation, often used in sprint races as well. RSL 1 is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers with very high heat resistance. It maintains a constant friction level over a wide range of temperatures. Its reduced wear rate and disc friendliness make this material appropriate for endurance races.

GP40 Sprint & GP10 Street/Track Compounds
Dominate every lap with GiroDisc D1382 Racing Brake Pads, available in two elite compounds—GP40 for sprint racing and GP10 for street and track day use. Whether you're chasing podiums in HPDE or logging laps in long-distance formats, GiroDisc delivers the high-performance braking you demand.
The GP40 Sprint compound provides aggressive initial bite and linear modulation, making it ideal for track day warriors, club racers, and time attack drivers. For street/track day drivers, the GP10 compound offers smoother torque, excellent pad life, and low rotor wear—perfect for sessions where consistency matters most.
GiroDisc 1382 Product Highlights
GP40 compound: High torque, linear bite for sprint racing, time trials, and HPDE
GP10 compound: Long-wear endurance pad with low rotor wear and excellent pedal feel
Consistent performance across wide temperature ranges for both compounds
D1382 pad shape fits many high-performance brake calipers
GiroDisc 1382 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the difference between the GP40 and GP10 compounds?
The GP40 is a high-bite sprint racing pad for aggressive braking and short sessions. The GP10 is a smoother, longer-wearing compound ideal for street and track day use.
Can I daily drive with GP40 or GP10 pads?
GP10 is the best compromise between street and track use. GP40 compound pads are engineered for track-only use. They may be noisy, dusty, and lack the cold bite necessary for street driving.
Do both compounds fit the same D1382 shape?
Yes. Both GP40 and GP10 are available in the D1382 pad shape, compatible with various performance calipers.
What type of racing is GP40 best for?
The GP40 compound excels in endurance formats such as 6-, 12-, or 24-hour races where consistency and wear resistance are key.
Do I need GiroDisc rotors to use these pads?
No, but pairing these pads with GiroDisc two-piece rotors is recommended for the best results.
GP10-1382.17 Brake Pads
GP10 compound is a high-performance street pad which is designed to have a smooth bite and make minimal noise at cold temperatures. Made for us by a friction technology specialist in Japan, it can be taken on track if you truly need a pad that does it all.
Please note that if your car spends more time on track than the street, we would recommend stepping up to a full race pad like our GP40.
GP40-1382.17 Brake Pads
GP40 compound falls between a sprint and an endurance compound. It maintains good bite and pedal feel while being friendly to your rotors. They are a favorite among our track day customers and shares a lineage with compounds found on cars competing in legendary races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These pads have been race-tested and hold up to the brutal conditions on the track.

Girodisc Titanium Brake Pad Shields for Corvette C7 / C8 Z07
from $128.00
The problem of brake fluid boiling is simply traced to 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, and the brake pedal goes to the floor instead of moving the caliper pistons.  Production cars tend to suffer from this on track days because they don't have the extensive cooling ducts and exotic brake materials found on racing cars. Â
Race-only brake calipers generally come with titanium caliper pistons for one reason: titanium has low thermal conductivity. This means it's very bad at transferring heat, which is good if you're trying to keep your brake fluid from boiling.  Here's a comparison of materials and their relative thermal conductivity ratings (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 the brake pad and the caliper pistons. This helps prevent braking heat from transferring into the pistons and, thus, into the fluid.Â
For cars that are going to see hard or multiple track days, these shims are affordable protection from losing your brake pedal at the wrong time and making your track day very expensive.
Water jet cut to exact size; no cutting, grinding, or swearing involved.
Price is per axle (four shims)

Girodisc GP-Series Pad FAQs
Do these pads fit the C8 Z06 with factory carbon-ceramic brakes?No. Pad shape 4008 is for iron rotor systems only and will not fit GM PCCB/CCM calipers.
Which compound is best for mixed street and track use?GP10 is ideal for spirited street driving and light track days. If you expect more frequent track use, GP35 is the better balanced option.
Are these pads noisy?GP10 is the quietest option. GP35 and GP40 may produce some noise during low-speed operation due to their higher-temperature race formulations.
Do these require a specific bedding procedure?Yes. Proper bedding is essential for optimal friction transfer and to prevent uneven rotor deposits. Always follow Girodisc’s recommended bedding process.
