Brake Pads

MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS THAN ANY OTHER^TM
PFC’s innovative race-winning technology surpasses that of anyone else in the industry, delivering the ultimate stopping power
with the best release, response, and control.

BETTER FEEL

   - PFC pads have excellent and consistent release control from the first stop to the last
   - More brake bite with more control and quicker transition times
   - Race Ready^TM Heat Treatment provides immediate stopping power with limited bedding

BETTER PERFORMANCE
   - High-Temperature Strength Carbon Metallic^® friction is more resistant to pad wear at high operating temperatures
   - Ionic Fusion^TM process bonds the friction to the backing plate with the highest shear strength in the industry
   - Patented Powder Coating eliminates corrosion and ensures smooth faultness operation of the brake system

BETTER RESULTS
- Faster Transition Times
- Quicker Lap Times

So go ahead, GIDDY UP.
