Brake Pads

Brake Pads Have One Purpose - Turn Friction Into Heat. That's it. But it is not that easy. A heavy GT1 car with hi spring rates, aero upgrades and slicks can take a more aggressive pad than a street driven light car on street dot tires. At DiscoveryParts, we are racers who know that over 20% of your lap is on the brake pedal. Let us help you get not only a 1/10 of a second a lap but more than that of every lap. We offer the best in racecar brake pads from Carbotech, Hawk, Pagid, and Performance Friction. Not sure what compound is right for not only your car but your driving style?

Assured stopping power
Increased overall performance and handling
Excellent modulation and release characteristics
Better control entering the corners
Longer brake pad and rotor life—up to four times longer than the competition!
Longer rotor life
Non-corrosive dust

G-LOC

G-LOC racing brake pads are serious race brake pads made for the highest level of competition. We hope you never experience G-LOC (G-force induced loss of consciousness) on track, but we hope you get the most out of your braking system, especially when you must run a factory caliper. There are "tricks" used by boutique race pad manufacturers that the others can not do. One is to have the friction material go to the very edge of the backing plate. G-LOC does not stop there, they make sure the pad face is perfectly flat (no bevels on the edge) to give you the most surface area available. G-LOC knows race brakes and the podium proves it.

It is also a preferred pad for touring car and rally. Higher bite than 90 compound with slightly higher torque. Great modulation. Very flat torque curve with enhanced release characteristics. 97 compounds are very easy on the discs, with very low wear. This compound is becoming a favorite of driving schools because it shares similar characteristics with 90 compounds but with even less wear. Highly recommended as a general-purpose pad for all venues. (When out, refer to 01)

The release and modulation characteristics are second to none. Very low abraded disc wear with a fine micronic polished disc finish. Despite its considerable performance, 07 will have slightly better wear than 05. This compound demands the most from the vehicle setup and is designed to handle the most severe applications.

   07 Recommended Applications:
   For high grip, high down force, or severe duty applications.
   NASCAR Short Track and Road Course
