All PBS, Performance brake solutions ltd brake pads are solely developed for Motorsport use. They are intended for race use only. They have not been developed for use on public roads and must not, under any circumstances, be used on public roads.
Quality
Brake pads are subjected to huge pressures from the caliper pistons in unequal proportions across the pad. The back plate must remain flat to offer optimal performance so PBS use Nucap NRS hooked back plates so there is mechanical and adhesive bond bewteen the pad material and back plate.
Eliminating Brake Fade
When brake pads run at high temperatures, gases can be created by the pad and can cause layer between the pad and brake disc. This can make the driver feel like they have lost performance as the brake pedal feels the same but the car will not stop as normal, this is called fade. A slot is cut into all PBS pads to offer the gasses a route to escape.
Bedding In
BS brake pads are put trough a heat curing treatment in the manufacturing process. This process removes unwanted gasses from the materials in advance, reducing the gasses that can cause fade within the brake pad. Because of this treatment, PBS brake pads only need light bedding in to match the padding to the disc.
Brake pads should be bedded in until up to mid range working temperature then allowed to cool properly. This will also help to removes any gasses that are still within the pad. Not following this process may cause problems leading to a decrease in optimum performance.
With an operating temperature window of 0-800°C, this pad system will handle most serious breaking conditions. Great for racing or track day use with low dust and great brake disc life.
These are by far the best value brake pads on the market giving great consistency, longevity and friction at both hot and cold temperatures.
Reviews compare them to a carbon lorraine, CarboTech and performance friction pad without the price to match.
