Trusted by professional racers and performance enthusiasts worldwide, these pads are crafted using advanced friction materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure consistent performance, low fade, and excellent modulation. Whether you're on the track or tackling aggressive street driving, Pagid Racing Brake Pads provide the reliability and confidence you need to push your vehicle to its limits.

Pagid Racing Brake compounds are for steel (cast iron) rotors only unless otherwise noted.

RSL 29 Compound

The Pagid RSL 29 (Yellow) is the world-leading endurance brake pad used by most of the winning teams in motorsport. Although designed primarily for endurance racing, many competitors use this material successfully for sprint and short distance races also. RS29 has also found favor in the growing track day market due to the level of control, good cold performance, long life and low disc wear.

Pagid RS 42 Compound

Pagid RS 42 is a medium-friction compound with medium initial bite and good cold friction. It is a classic rally pad that is also very popular in small formula and touring cars. RS 42 is a low-metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers.

Pagid RST 1 Compound

Used in Rally tarmac, GT cars and touring cars circuit racing (sprint), high down-force formula cars, NASCAR. Suitable for applications in heavy cars and where high torque is necessary against small diameter rotors. RST 1 has a very high friction level and high temperature resistance. It is a semi-metallic resin bonded material containing steel fibers. Cold friction and initial bite makes this material most appropriate for Rally and NASCAR applications.

Pagid RST 3 Compound

RST 3 is a medium-high friction metal-ceramic compound containing steel fibers and is therefore the perfect complement of the RST product family. It captivates by its low heat conductivity. Rally tarmac and gravel, GT cars, touring cars and prototype circuit racing, formula cars and club racing. Wide range of applications due to its combination of bite, friction and controllability.

Pagid RST 4 Compound

RST 4 is a semi-metallic resin bonded material containing steel fibers. This material has a medium friction level and high temperature resistance. Typical use is in formula cars and open wheel racing. It is also very popular as a rear-axle material for rally racing on tarmac and gravel and for front-engine cars. RST 4 is also used in NASCAR on long ovals.

Pagid RST 5 Compound

RST 5 was developed for high-friction sprint and rally applications where extreme thermal stability is critical. It delivers very high initial bite, strong fade resistance and excellent recovery while keeping generated heat in the brake pad rather than transferring it into the brake fluid. RST 5 is designed for demanding rally, rallycross and other high-thermal-load competition applications.
