Where Performance Friction differs from other brake manufacturers is that we offer the complete package – brake calipers, disc rotors, hats/mounting bells, hardware and pads - 100 percent American made in our Clover, South Carolina, production plant using world-class manufacturing processes and quality control.

Our brake calipers, discs and pads outperform the competition in all markets, from professional racing to commercial fleet to street.

Racing champions know Performance Friction Brakes. Hundreds of races and more than 1,500 championships have been won on Performance Friction Carbon Metallic® pads, ranging from NASCAR Winston Cup to IndyCar to the Australian V8 Supercars.

Fleet maintenance managers know Performance Friction Brakes.  Verizon, FedEx, Ryder, Budget, International and Freightliner, police fleets, school bus fleets, ambulances, and heavy haul-truck fleets are just a sampling of those who rely on Performance Friction Brakes.

Off-Highway distributors count on Performance Friction to supply Carbon Metallic® and Carbon Metallic Z-Rated® brake pads. Performance Friction was the first brake pad supplier to bring an asbestos-free solution that could stop a 16-ton loader at 35 mph. We make heavy-duty pads to cover hundreds of applications, including Caterpillar, Clark-Michigan, BF Goodrich and Volvo.
 
Street Upgrades for nearly every make and model are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications.  Whether your driving a brand new sports car, a late model sedan, a vintage collectible, towing your boat with your 4WD, racing in a CAMS event, or touring country roads on your motorcycle – we’ve got the brake pad to fit your needs.
