Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Racing Brake Pads - Race Calipers/Big Brake Kits

Purchase Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Racing Brake Pads - Race Calipers/Big Brake Kits

Performance Friction race pads win more championships per year than any other pad brand on the market, but no one wants to let that secret out! Now these winning pads used by teams from BMWs to Daytona Prototypes to NASCAR Cup Cars, including the BimmerWorld World Challenge Team, are easily available for your BMW race or track day car.

PFC Philosophy
It is the mission of Performance Friction and all of their employees to provide the correct pad compound for each application that they make. Instead of using the “shotgun” method of pad development, wherein every pad is made in every compound, PFC builds the correct pad to suit the venue it is designed for. This is the reason that in many applications, there are only one or two pad options. These options are what PFC recommends for those applications, and are arrived at only after very careful consideration and evaluation. Below you will find a description of the currently available PFC Race Pad Compounds.

Current Production Performance Friction Race Compounds

06 Compound - NEW!
This new compound represents the cutting edge of brake pad technology. Extremely long life, but with torque similar to 01, this pad will be the leading choice for endurance racing and a track day pad. In our 2008 win at the 13 Hour at VIR, we used approximately 40% of the front pad and 25% of the rear - that is incredible wear for a capable, full-race pad.

01 Compound
01 is one of the most advanced race compounds in the PFC's arsenal, and has become the standard by which all brake pads are judged. It has good initial bite, with very little torque rise with temperature. At the end of the stop, 01 Compound has less torque scatter for improved modulation with excellent release. 01 Compound has good disc conditioning properties with low wear. 01 Compound is one of PFC’s most popular race compounds and wins more World and National Championships annually than any other brake pad on the market.

97 Compound
This compound has been a favorite of sportscar endurance racing since its debut, and has the lowest wear of any PFC Compound. 97 Compound has won races in CART, ALMS, World Challenge, Grand Am, and ASA, and Club Racing, and is a preferred pad for touring car and rally. 97 Compound has less initial bite and average torque than 01. It has great modulation, a very flat torque curve, and enhanced release characteristics. 97 is considered PFC’s “Endurance Compound” and is also highly recommended as a general-purpose pad for Club Racing and Track Day events.

03 and 05 Compounds
Available only for selected race calipers. These compounds add progressively more torque, typically for heavier cars, cars with more down force, and/or full race slicks.
