Performance Friction PFC 1854 Racing Brake Pads

PFC 1854 Brake Pad Fitment Guide

The Performance Friction PFC 1854 racing brake pad is a specialized motorsport friction solution designed for compatible high-performance brake calipers requiring the 1854 backing plate shape. Measuring 109.8 mm wide with a 47.0 mm friction material depth and 15 mm friction material thickness, the PFC 1854 combines precise pad geometry with Performance Friction's competition-focused Compound 332 technology.

Available from Competition Motorsport in PFC 332 racing compound, the 1854 is an excellent option for motorsport braking systems where controlled rear-axle brake torque, ABS compatibility, and predictable braking characteristics are priorities. Its distinctive backing plate profile and specialized friction material make accurate pad identification essential when preparing a vehicle for track days, sprint racing, or endurance competition.

PFC 1854 Brake Pad Specifications

• Manufacturer: Performance Friction (PFC)
• Pad Shape: 1854
• Overall Width: 109.8 mm
• Friction Material Depth: 47.0 mm
• Friction Material Thickness: 15 mm (excluding backing plate)

The PFC 1854 features a compact backing plate with two upper retaining holes, a gently arched upper friction surface, and a shallow concave lower edge. The backing plate includes distinctive raised mounting sections surrounding the retaining holes, making the 1854 easy to distinguish from other similarly sized racing brake pad shapes.

Always compare the PFC 1854 technical drawing and dimensions with your existing brake 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 emphasizes controlled brake torque, predictable braking response, and favorable pad and rotor wear characteristics.

The compound's degressive friction behavior helps manage braking response as operating conditions change. This makes PFC 332 particularly attractive for competition vehicles where rear brake stability, consistent pedal response, and proper interaction with the ABS system are important.

Unlike compounds developed primarily for aggressive front-axle braking, PFC 332 is formulated to support the specific requirements of rear braking systems, where excessive brake torque can negatively affect vehicle balance and stability.

Benefits of PFC 332 Brake Compound

• Rear-Axle Performance: Developed specifically for compatible rear racing brake applications.
• ABS-Friendly Friction: Degressive friction characteristics designed to support modern racing ABS systems.
• Controlled Brake Torque: Helps maintain predictable rear braking behavior under demanding conditions.
• Low Wear Characteristics: Engineered for favorable pad and rotor wear performance.
• Consistent Modulation: Designed to provide controlled braking response during repeated heavy braking.
• Motorsport-Focused Design: Intended for competition braking systems operating under demanding track conditions.

PFC 1854 Brake Pad Fitment and Compatibility

The Performance Friction 1854 pad shape is intended for brake calipers requiring its specific backing plate geometry, retaining-hole locations, and friction material dimensions. Proper fitment depends on caliper design, brake system configuration, and the required assembled pad thickness.

Before ordering, verify the 109.8 mm overall width, 47.0 mm friction material depth, 15 mm friction material thickness, and mounting-hole geometry against your existing brake pads or caliper manufacturer's technical specifications.

The 15 mm measurement refers only to the friction material and does not include the steel backing plate. This distinction is important when comparing brake pad thickness specifications.

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 1854 Brake Pads

What compound is available for the PFC 1854 brake pad?

Competition Motorsport offers the PFC 1854 brake pad in Performance Friction Compound 332, a degressive racing friction material developed for rear-axle applications.

What makes PFC Compound 332 different from other racing compounds?

PFC 332 is designed with degressive friction characteristics that support controlled rear brake torque, ABS compatibility, and favorable pad and rotor wear. It is particularly suited to compatible motorsport rear braking systems.

Is the PFC 1854 suitable for endurance racing?

PFC 332 is a competition-oriented compound that may be suitable for endurance applications when matched to the vehicle's braking system, operating temperatures, brake balance, and racing requirements.

Does the 15 mm pad thickness include the backing plate?

No. The specified 15 mm thickness refers exclusively to the friction material. The steel backing plate is not included in this measurement.

How can I confirm that PFC 1854 brake pads fit my calipers?

Compare your existing pads with the PFC 1854 technical drawing. Confirm the 109.8 mm overall width, 47.0 mm friction material depth, 15 mm friction thickness, backing plate outline, and retaining-hole positions before ordering.

Can PFC 1854 Compound 332 brake pads be used on the street?

PFC 332 is a racing friction material intended primarily for motorsport applications. Competition brake pads may produce additional noise and dust and may not provide ideal braking characteristics at normal street operating temperatures.
