The Performance Friction PFC 0829 racing brake pad combines precision backing plate geometry with the smooth, progressive braking characteristics of PFC Compound 11. Designed for compatible high-performance brake calipers, the 0829 pad shape measures 135 mm wide by 52 mm high and features a 16 mm friction material thickness, excluding the steel backing plate.
Available from Competition Motorsport in PFC 11 racing compound, the 0829 is an excellent option for drivers seeking predictable initial bite, strong braking performance, and precise modulation during demanding track sessions and motorsport competition.
PFC 0829 Brake Pad Specifications
- Manufacturer: Performance Friction (PFC)
- Pad Shape: 0829
- Overall Width: 135 mm
- Overall Height: 52 mm
- Friction Material Thickness: 16 mm (excluding backing plate)
- Available Compound: PFC 11
- Compound Application: Sprint and medium-distance racing
- Intended Use: HPDE, track days, club racing, and motorsport
The PFC 0829 features a curved upper friction edge, a centrally divided friction surface, and distinctive lateral backing plate tabs. Its specialized geometry makes accurate pad shape identification essential when selecting replacement racing brake pads.
PFC Compound 11 – Smooth Initial Bite and Progressive Friction
Performance Friction Compound 11 is a competition-focused friction material developed for sprint and medium-distance racing. Known for its smooth initial bite and friction characteristics that increase with temperature, PFC 11 delivers a progressive braking response for drivers who prioritize pedal control and predictable modulation.
Unlike racing compounds that emphasize an aggressive initial braking response, Compound 11 provides a smoother transition into braking, allowing drivers to precisely manage deceleration and brake release.
Its temperature-responsive friction characteristics make PFC 11 particularly attractive for demanding road racing environments where consistent performance during repeated heavy braking is essential.
Benefits of PFC 11 Racing Brake Compound
- Smooth Initial Bite: Progressive braking response for controlled deceleration.
- Temperature-Responsive Friction: Friction increases as operating temperature rises.
- Excellent Modulation: Predictable pedal response helps drivers precisely control braking effort.
- Sprint Racing Performance: Developed for demanding short- and medium-distance competition.
- Motorsport-Focused Design: Engineered for compatible high-performance racing brake systems.
Why Choose Performance Friction PFC 0829 Brake Pads?
The PFC 0829 combines a 135 mm overall width with a 52 mm overall height and a distinctive backing plate configuration. Its curved friction profile and central groove distinguish it from other racing brake pad shapes.
Performance Friction has developed advanced braking systems and friction materials for professional motorsport, making PFC an established choice among competitive drivers and racing teams.
PFC 0829 Brake Pad Fitment and Compatibility
The Performance Friction 0829 brake pad is intended for calipers requiring its specific backing plate shape, mounting features, and friction material dimensions.
Before ordering, compare your existing brake pads with the PFC 0829 technical drawing. Confirm the 135 mm overall width, 52 mm overall height, 16 mm friction material thickness, and backing plate geometry.
The 16 mm thickness measurement excludes the steel backing plate and should not be confused with the complete assembled brake pad thickness.
Vehicle make and model alone may not establish compatibility, particularly when aftermarket racing calipers or optional performance brake packages are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions About PFC 0829 Brake Pads
What compound is available for the PFC 0829 brake pad?
Competition Motorsport offers the PFC 0829 pad shape in Performance Friction Compound 11, a racing friction material developed for sprint and medium-distance competition.
What are the characteristics of PFC Compound 11?
PFC 11 features smooth initial bite and friction that increases as operating temperature rises. It is designed to provide progressive braking response and precise modulation in racing applications.
Is the PFC 0829 suitable for track days?
Yes, when the pad shape is compatible with the vehicle's brake calipers and the compound is appropriate for the vehicle's braking requirements and operating temperatures.
Does the 16 mm thickness include the backing plate?
No. The 16 mm measurement refers to the friction material thickness only. The steel backing plate is excluded.
Can PFC 0829 Compound 11 brake pads be used on the street?
PFC 11 is a competition-oriented friction compound primarily intended for motorsport use. Racing brake pads may produce additional noise and dust and may not provide ideal braking characteristics at normal street operating temperatures.
