Race Technologies 2427 Brake Pad Fitment Guide

Race Technologies 2427 Rear Brake Pads

The Race Technologies 2427 brake pad is a high-performance rear pad shape designed for select BMW M and Alpina braking systems. Measuring 116 mm wide by 73 mm high with a 63 mm pad depth and 18 mm thickness, the 2427 is engineered for demanding performance street, HPDE, track day, club racing, and motorsport applications.

Competition Motorsport offers the Race Technologies 2427 brake pad in RE10 and TS20 compounds, allowing drivers to select the friction characteristics best suited to their vehicle, tires, driving style, brake temperatures, and intended use.

Race Technologies 2427 Brake Pad Specifications

• Pad Shape: 2427
• Axle Position: Rear
• Overall Width: 116 mm
• Overall Height: 73 mm
• Pad Depth: 63 mm
• Pad Thickness: 18 mm
• Available Compounds: RE10 and TS20
• Application: Select BMW M and Alpina performance vehicles

The 2427 uses a distinctive compact rear pad profile with a deep center retention notch and side locating tabs. Because BMW brake configurations can vary by model, model year, and brake option, compare the 2427 pad outline and dimensions with your existing brake pad before ordering.

BMW and Alpina 2427 Brake Pad Applications

The Race Technologies 2427 pad shape is used on the rear braking systems of several high-performance BMW M and Alpina applications, including select BMW F10 M5, F13 M6, G80 M3, G82 M4, and G87 M2 models, as well as select Alpina B5 and B6 applications.

Some BMW models were offered with multiple brake systems, including carbon ceramic configurations. Always verify your vehicle's brake package and compare the pad shape before ordering.

RE10 Racing Compound

Race Technologies RE10 is an endurance-focused racing compound designed to deliver strong stopping performance, low thermal conductivity, and low pad and rotor wear under demanding conditions. Its consistent friction characteristics make RE10 well suited to professional endurance racing, club racing, and demanding HPDE applications.

RE10 is a competition-focused compound intended primarily for racing use. Increased brake noise and dust can occur when a racing pad is operated on the street or below its intended temperature range.

TS20 Street and Track Compound

Race Technologies TS20 is designed for drivers seeking strong braking performance for aggressive street driving, HPDE, and track-day use while retaining more street-friendly characteristics than a dedicated racing compound.

TS20 is a strong option for dual-purpose BMW M cars that regularly transition between road and track environments and require dependable braking response across a broad range of operating conditions.

Choosing Between RE10 and TS20

Choose RE10 when the vehicle is primarily used for demanding track, racing, or endurance applications where sustained temperatures, repeatable performance, and durability are priorities. Choose TS20 for performance street, HPDE, and mixed street-and-track use where strong braking capability needs to be balanced with more street-friendly characteristics.

The ideal compound depends on vehicle weight, tire grip, brake temperatures, rotor configuration, track layout, driving style, and brake system setup.

Why Choose Race Technologies 2427 Brake Pads?

The 2427 pad shape is engineered for high-performance rear brake systems that must contribute predictable braking balance and consistent performance under repeated heavy braking. Combined with Race Technologies performance compounds, the 2427 gives BMW M and Alpina drivers a purpose-built option for demanding street and track environments.

Always verify the 116 mm width, 73 mm height, 63 mm pad depth, and 18 mm thickness against your existing brake pad before ordering.

Note: RE10 is a "racing use only" pad.

Running a "racing use only" pad on the street could produce excessive noise and dust. Disc wear could be accelerated if driven at cold temperatures or used in the incorrect temperature range.

Racing pads are designed to work in specific temperature ranges, so it's important to choose the right compound for the environment the vehicle will be used in.

Pad compounds are run on a brake dynamometer over multiple brake applications ("stops") to test the materials in a controlled environment and obtain accurate data. Wear rates and operating temperatures can be influenced by car set-up, grip levels, track layout, and other variables.
