Pads
 It’s Quieter, Stops Quicker and Lasts Longer
Decades of research and development have created the pinnacle of brake pad technology that outperforms “ceramic” and traditional semi-metallic pads in all categories, and we have the independent test data to prove it. What is our secret? At Performance Friction® we don’t just copy OE, we make it better.

Our Passenger and Commercial vehicle compounds will give you the stopping power, extended wear, noise reduction and driver control you want. The metallic elements in our pad material dramatically improve braking. Carbon provides stability at extreme temperatures making the pad less likely to deform and deteriorate.

Our Carbon Metallic® pads are our most popular brake pads. With NO CLAY fillers, they’ll outlast the competition 2 to 3 times, and will be the pad best suited for most people’s daily driving needs. Carbon Metallic® offer superior braking, pedal feel and longer life without fade at high temperatures. They are denoted by a WWWW pad shape and an ending XX compound number of .20, for example: 0786.20 |
