Pagid Racing Brake Pads - RSC1 - Mclaren 720S Front
Pagid Racing E8269 in RSC1 compound brake pads for various McLaren cars is now available! Amazing track day and club sport material for a wide application range of performance cars.
PAGID Racing RSC compounds are developed to comply with the latest requirements in ceramic composite brake disc technology and meet or surpass all current ecological standards of the automotive industry.
Pagid Racing RSC are performance and race compounds specifically engineerd for ceramic disc applications. With their excellent release characteristics come very good modulation and controllability.
RSC brakepads have a low heat conductivity which gives them a wide operating temperature range. Pagid RSC brakepads have slightly profressive in-stop friction behavior.
Application range:
Race and track day compound for all known types of ceramic brake discs.
Description:
RSC 1 is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers. This material features good all-round characteristics and is suitable for all types of usage.
Pad fitting:
New brake pads must move freely in the caliper guides. Always use the appropriate pad shape to ensure proper fit.
When new pads are installed, always ensure that the pedal is pumped up to take up any caliper piston travel prior to driving the vehicle.
Brake pad bedding in:
In the first phase of the bedding in procedure, you have to create a perfect contact-pattern between disc and pad. And this is how it works: you have to do about 10 stops with low pressure and low temperature from 150 km/h to approximately 80 km/h.
The distance between each brake stop should be between 600 and 800 meters.
Brake fade
Pad fade:
If the temperature between pad and disc gets too high, gasses build up an air cushion between pad and disc. The pedal remains stiff, but the stopping power is reduced. Solutions are an improved cooling, change to a higher temperature range pad material or a higher mass brake disc.
Brake pad size:
A bigger pad does not mean a bigger stopping power. But the greater heat capacity of the larger pad can improve modulation, wear rate and lead to more consistent performance.
Brake balance:
A perfect brake balance is important in order to reach a minimum stopping distance by maintaining good vehicle stability.
The bias setting can be done with either correct selection of the friction material and respective friction coefficients or also by race cars which are having a balance bar by adjusting the balance bar into the correct position.
Pagid unique backingplate solution
Brake backingplate:
To guarantee a perfect connection between friction material and backing plate, PAGID Racing is using a specific retention system with brass studs that are welded directly to the backplate.
These brass studs are softer than the brake disc (rotor) and wear away as the pad is consumed causing no damage to the disc.
