The Race Technologies 2448 brake pad combines a compact backing plate with a substantial friction surface for demanding high-performance braking applications. Measuring 114.5 mm wide by 83 mm high with a 70 mm friction material depth, the 2448 is designed for compatible brake calipers used in performance driving, HPDE, track days, and motorsport competition.
Competition Motorsport offers the Race Technologies 2448 brake pad in RE10 racing and TS20 street/track compounds, allowing drivers to select the friction characteristics that best suit their vehicle, braking system, tire grip, and intended use. Whether you're preparing for a competitive race weekend or upgrading your braking performance for track events, choosing the correct pad shape and compound is essential for predictable, consistent braking.
Race Technologies 2448 Brake Pad Specifications
- Pad Shape: 2448 /
P1200.20
- Overall Width: 114.5 mm
- Overall Height: 83 mm
- Friction Material Depth: 70 mm
- Pad Thickness: 18 mm
- Available Compounds: RE10 and TS20
- Intended Use: Performance driving, HPDE, track days, club racing, and motorsport, depending on compound
The 2448 features a distinctive backing plate with two outer retaining openings, an additional upper locating opening, and a centered relief. Its large friction surface and specific mounting geometry make accurate shape identification important when replacing existing brake pads or selecting friction materials for performance calipers.
Always compare the 2448 technical drawing and dimensions with your existing brake pads or caliper specifications before ordering.
RE10 Racing Brake Compound
Race Technologies RE10 is an endurance-focused racing friction material developed for demanding track and competition environments. Designed to maintain consistent braking characteristics under sustained high temperatures, RE10 emphasizes predictable modulation, thermal stability, and low pad and rotor wear.
RE10 is particularly well suited to advanced HPDE, sprint racing, club racing, and endurance competition where repeatable braking performance and durability are essential. Its consistent friction characteristics help drivers maintain confidence through repeated heavy braking and extended track sessions.
As a competition-focused compound, RE10 is intended primarily for track and racing applications. Increased brake dust and noise may occur during lower-temperature street operation.
TS20 Street and Track Brake Compound
Race Technologies TS20 is designed for performance vehicles that operate across both street and track environments. Offering responsive initial braking, predictable pedal feel, and more street-friendly noise and dust characteristics than a dedicated racing compound, TS20 provides a versatile option for enthusiasts who want strong braking performance without sacrificing everyday drivability.
TS20 is particularly well suited to spirited street driving, HPDE events, and track days where dependable braking response across a broad range of operating temperatures is important.
RE10 vs. TS20: Which Brake Compound Should You Choose?
Both Race Technologies compounds offer performance-oriented friction characteristics, but each is designed for a different operating environment.
- RE10: Recommended for dedicated track cars, club racing, sprint racing, and endurance applications requiring sustained high-temperature capability, excellent modulation, and consistent friction performance.
- TS20: Recommended for performance street cars, HPDE, and dual-purpose street/track vehicles where strong initial response and more street-friendly braking characteristics are priorities.
The ideal compound depends on vehicle weight, tire grip, rotor configuration, brake cooling, driving style, and operating temperatures. Contact Competition Motorsport for assistance selecting the appropriate Race Technologies compound for your application.
Why Choose Race Technologies 2448 Brake Pads?
The Race Technologies 2448 pad shape combines a 114.5 mm overall width with an 83 mm height and a 70 mm friction material depth. Its generous friction surface makes it suitable for compatible braking systems that must manage repeated heavy braking and substantial thermal loads.
- Distinctive 2448 backing plate geometry for compatible performance calipers
- 114.5 mm overall width and 83 mm overall height
- 70 mm friction material depth
- 18 mm nominal pad thickness
- Choice of RE10 racing or TS20 street/track compounds
Race Technologies 2448 Brake Pad Fitment
The Race Technologies 2448 brake pad is intended for braking systems that require its specific backing plate geometry, retaining features, and friction material dimensions. Proper fitment depends on caliper design, brake system configuration, and the required pad thickness.
Before ordering, verify the 114.5 mm overall width, 83 mm overall height, 70 mm friction material depth, and mounting-hole locations against your existing brake pads or caliper manufacturer's specifications.
Vehicle make and model alone may not establish compatibility, particularly when optional brake packages or aftermarket performance calipers are installed.
