The Performance Friction PFC 1395 racing brake pad is designed for compatible high-performance brake calipers used in demanding track and motorsport applications. Measuring 189.6 mm wide by 97 mm high, with an 85 mm friction material depth and 17 mm overall thickness, the PFC 1395 features a wide friction surface, distinctive retaining geometry, and two friction grooves.
Available at Competition Motorsport in PFC 11 and PFC 331 racing compounds, the 1395 pad shape gives drivers two different approaches to braking performance. Whether you prefer the smooth, progressive characteristics of Compound 11 or the ABS-friendly, high-initial-bite characteristics of Compound 331, selecting the right friction material is essential for consistent braking and driver confidence.
Performance Friction PFC 1395 Brake Pad Specifications
Manufacturer: Performance Friction (PFC)
Pad Shape: 1395
Overall Width: 189.6 mm
Overall Height: 97 mm
Friction Material Depth: 85 mm
Pad Thickness: 17 mm
Available Compounds: PFC 11 and PFC 331
Applications: Compatible motorsport brake calipers requiring the 1395 pad shape
PFC 11 Racing Compound – Smooth Bite and Progressive Braking
Performance Friction Compound 11 is a racing friction material developed for sprint and medium-distance competition. Known for its smooth initial bite and increasing friction characteristics as temperature rises, PFC 11 provides a progressive braking response for drivers who prioritize predictable pedal feel and precise modulation.
Compound 11 is well suited to competitive road racing, advanced HPDE, and demanding track applications where repeatable braking response is essential.
PFC 331 Racing Compound – High Initial Bite and ABS Compatibility
Performance Friction Compound 331 is a degressive racing brake compound developed primarily for front-axle applications. It combines strong initial bite with controlled friction characteristics, making it particularly attractive for racing vehicles equipped with sophisticated ABS systems.
Its degressive friction behavior is designed to support braking stability and control while offering favorable pad and rotor wear characteristics. PFC 331 is an excellent option for compatible front brake systems where ABS interaction and predictable high-performance braking are priorities.
PFC 11 vs. PFC 331 – Which Compound Should You Choose?
PFC 11: Smooth initial bite with friction that increases as temperature rises. Designed for sprint and medium-distance racing applications.
PFC 331: Strong initial bite with degressive friction behavior. Developed for front-axle racing applications, with an emphasis on ABS compatibility and low wear.
The ideal compound depends on vehicle weight, tire grip, brake balance, ABS calibration, rotor configuration, operating temperatures, and driving style. Contact Competition Motorsport for help selecting the correct PFC friction material.
Why Choose Performance Friction PFC 1395 Brake Pads?
Competition-focused Performance Friction braking technology
189.6 mm wide backing plate with distinctive retaining geometry
85 mm friction material depth
17 mm overall pad thickness
Available in PFC 11 and PFC 331 racing compounds
PFC 1395 Brake Pad Fitment and Compatibility
The Performance Friction 1395 pad shape is intended for compatible brake calipers requiring its specific backing plate geometry, retaining-hole locations, friction surface dimensions, and overall thickness.
Before ordering, verify the 189.6 mm width, 97 mm height, 85 mm friction material depth, and 17 mm thickness against your existing pads or the brake caliper manufacturer's technical specifications.
Vehicle make and model alone may not confirm fitment, especially when aftermarket racing calipers or optional performance brake systems are installed.

OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves | 2026 Model
$79.00
OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves
The OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves are lightweight performance gloves designed for drivers who prioritize ventilation, direct steering feedback, and unrestricted hand movement. Their breathable AirFlow upper helps reduce heat buildup, while a low-profile silicone palm provides secure steering-wheel traction without adding unnecessary bulk.
Pre-shaped fingers place the hand in a natural driving position, and externally stitched seams keep bulky thread away from sensitive areas inside the glove. Available in adult and junior sizing, the KS-3 offers a practical combination of comfort, grip, and recognizable OMP styling for kart racers at multiple experience levels.
AirFlow Fabric for Hot Track Conditions
The upper glove uses highly breathable, rice-grain-textured AirFlow fabric to promote ventilation around the hand. The open texture allows heat and moisture to escape more easily than a dense conventional fabric.
This construction is especially beneficial during summer races, indoor karting sessions, endurance events, and repeated practice runs where heat buildup can affect concentration and comfort.
Lightweight Silicone Steering-Wheel Grip
A silicone grip treatment across the palm creates dependable traction against the kart steering wheel. The low-profile application helps keep the hands securely positioned during braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections.
Unlike a heavily padded palm, the lightweight grip surface preserves the detailed feedback needed to recognize changes in steering effort, front-tire grip, and chassis behavior.
Pre-Shaped Ergonomic Fingers
The KS-3 uses pre-shaped fingers that follow the position the hand naturally assumes while holding a kart steering wheel. This reduces the amount of effort required to close the hand and limits material bunching around the finger joints.
A more natural resting position can help reduce fatigue through long heats and makes it easier to maintain consistent steering inputs throughout a race.
External Seams and Finger Forchettes
The finger seams are positioned externally to move stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior and helps prevent rubbing or concentrated pressure against the fingers.
Separate finger side panels, commonly known as forchettes, improve shaping and allow the glove to fit more naturally around each finger. Together, these features support sensitivity without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Direct Steering Feel Without Heavy Padding
The KS-3 is designed around light weight and steering sensitivity rather than substantial vibration-damping padding. Drivers receive a close connection to the wheel with minimal material between the hand and steering rim.
This makes the glove well suited to racers who value precise feedback. Drivers who experience significant hand fatigue from steering vibration may prefer a thicker model with dedicated palm cushioning.
Straight-Cut Elasticated Wrist
A straight wrist opening gives the KS-3 a clean, streamlined fit. The integrated elastic band helps keep the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop adjustment strap.
The flexible opening also allows quick entry and removal between sessions while maintaining a close fit once the glove is on.
Adult and Junior Karting Sizes
The KS-3 is available in adult and junior sizing, making it suitable for younger competitors as well as experienced racers. Drivers should select a size according to hand measurements rather than age alone, since finger length and palm width can vary significantly among junior racers.
A correct fit should fill the fingertips and palm without limiting circulation, forcing the fingers to curl, or leaving loose material against the steering wheel.

Who Should Choose the OMP KS-3?
The KS-3 is a strong choice for club racers, junior competitors, rental-kart drivers, and experienced racers who want a lightweight glove with minimal palm bulk. Its breathable upper makes it particularly attractive for hot-weather and indoor karting.
It is also a practical step up from basic recreational gloves for drivers who want external-seam comfort and a dedicated silicone steering-wheel grip without moving into a heavily padded premium model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the OMP KS-3 carry an FIA 8877-2022 homologation?An FIA 8877-2022 approval has not been confirmed for this listing. Drivers entering events with mandatory glove certification should inspect the label on the physical product and verify acceptance with the championship before ordering.
Is the KS-3 fire resistant for automobile racing?No fire-resistant automobile-racing approval is stated. The KS-3 is designed as a karting glove and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved Nomex gloves when flame-resistant equipment is required.
What does the rice-grain texture do?The textured AirFlow fabric creates a lightweight, ventilated upper that promotes air movement and helps moisture escape during hot or physically demanding sessions.
Is the KS-3 a padded glove?No. It prioritizes low weight and direct steering feel rather than thick palm cushioning. Racers wanting substantial vibration absorption should consider a glove with dedicated padding or a structured grip material.
How does the KS-3 compare with the OMP KS-2R?The KS-3 is the lighter and simpler option, emphasizing airflow, silicone grip, and value. The KS-2R adds more technical articulation, including flexible bellows, mesh inserts, silicone finger protection, and a longer gauntlet-style construction.
How does it compare with the OMP KS-X?The KS-X is positioned as a more premium competition glove with advanced ergonomic construction and current FIA 8877-2022 homologation. The KS-3 is better suited to drivers prioritizing simplicity, ventilation, and a lower price point.
Are the external seams noticeable while driving?The seams sit along the outside edges of the fingers to remove stitching from the interior. When the glove fits correctly, they should improve comfort without interfering with normal steering-wheel use.
What are finger forchettes?Forchettes are the narrow fabric panels between the fingers. They give each finger more defined shaping and help improve mobility, comfort, and fit.
Are these suitable for a child beginning kart racing?Yes, provided the correct junior size is available and the glove satisfies the event’s equipment rules. Select a size from actual hand measurements rather than the driver’s age.
What should I do if my child is between two sizes?Choose the size that permits full finger movement without large gaps at the fingertips. Avoid buying excessively large gloves for future growth because loose fabric can reduce grip and steering sensitivity.
Are the KS-3 Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Their breathable construction and external seams can work well for long sessions. Drivers who experience vibration-related hand fatigue may prefer a glove with additional palm damping.
Will the silicone grip work with suede and rubber steering wheels?The silicone treatment is designed to provide traction on common kart steering-wheel surfaces. The exact feel and level of tack can vary with the wheel material, moisture, wear, and cleanliness.
Can the KS-3 be used for sim racing?Yes. Its light construction and silicone grip can work well for sim racing, although it is designed primarily for karting.
How should the OMP KS-3 Gloves be washed?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, machine drying, and direct high heat that could damage the fabric, elasticity, or silicone grip.
How can I make the silicone palm last longer?Use the gloves mainly for driving and avoid handling abrasive bodywork, tools, fasteners, or rough surfaces. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them.

Sparco EVO Performance Carbon Fiber Racing Seats
The Sparco Evo Performance Carbon Fiber Seat looks as good on the street and it does on the track. Finished in soft and smooth leather with an alcantara center, this seat is at the Pinnacle of the Evo line. As Sparco's most well known competition seat, it was a no-brainer to provide the refreshed Evo with Sparco's QRT Ultra-Light Technology. Not content to leave well enough alone, Sparco went a step further by improving the overall fit and feel of the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber. Starting with the shoulder bolsters, Sparco trimmed down the width to help fitment into smaller cars without sacrificing support. Sparco then lowered the side bolsters just enough to improve ingress/egress into/out of the car. Finally, the shoulder belt guides have been raised for improved harness fit in all drivers. With small sports cars in mind (the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber fits perfectly in a Miata!), the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber is sure be a mainstay at the track!
The EVO Carbon is the all-carbon fiber version of the EVO QRT. It is constructed with “Pre-Preg” aerospace grade carbon fiber, also known as Dry Carbon. EVO Carbon is one of the lightest carbon fiber seats on the market. It weighs less than 10lbs (shell only) and 12lbs (with padding and cover). The EVO Carbon is has excellent fitment into smaller cockpits. The EVO series of seats feature the most back angle rake of all Sparco seats for a very comfortable driving position. It also has high grip material in strategic places such as the shoulder bolsters and seat bottom to aid in lateral support. The EVO Carbon is FIA 8859-1999 approved.

Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details
Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat.
The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice.
The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars.
Strong cold bite for street use
Low noise when properly bedded
Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad
Great match for performance street tires
Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement.
Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad.
Ferodo DS3000 Brake Compound Details
The predecessor to DS1.11, DS3000 offers high initial bite with excellent feel and release. Popular among rally teams, DS3000 has a relatively low cold temperature threshold while still offering high temp stability for tarmac. DS3000 is very easy on discs at the expense of pad wear.
Ferodo FRP3000 Comparison Chart
Out of all the pad compounds we've ever tested, from all manufacturers, the Ferodo DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability. The DS3.12 has a higher mu (µ) than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much pedal pressure is required to initiate the desired response. It is also un-fadable, showing no drop in performance at any temperature your brakes will ever see.
Ferodo FRP3000 Coefficient of Friction (Mu) Comparison Chart
In dyno testing, the Ferodo DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to brake rotors. We believe the Ferodo DS3.12 will become the gold standard by which other race compounds will be judged.
