80 COMPOUND |
| Requires more leg pressure than
the 83 compound, for comparable braking. Subtle and a
favorite for many applications where pedal modulation is difficult, brake balance or
chassis set-up requires a more forgiving pad.
|
| 83 COMPOUND |
| A higher coefficient of friction
than the 80 compound. This pad material has a super high torque, a firm pedal feel,
and requires finesse. |
90 COMPOUND |
| Higher torque output than the 83
compound. The 90 compound was developed at the same time as the 93 compound, and is
very similar with lower torque output. Very easy on the brake discs. It also
has a higher wear rate under super severe service than the 93 compound. |
93 COMPOUND |
| This compound has a better
release characteristic, great improvement for trailing into a corner or modulation at
threshold braking. They are very kind to the rotors. Requires finesse, coming
on very fast, slowing the car quickly. |
|
|
97 COMPOUND |
| The 97 compound has a
higher torque than the 90 compound. The torque curve is very flat, allowing less
wear. Very easy on the brake rotors. |
01 COMPOUND |
| This compound has the high flat
torque curve, providing excellent pedal modulation. The 01 compound has better wear
than the 83 compound with a fast, smooth release. The pads polish the rotor without
pad material build-up. |
02 COMPOUND |
| This compound is the
newest PFC pad. Has a higher torque for the first 2/3 of the braking distance, then
the torque flattens out The 02 compound is very kind to the rotors. Requires
finesse, coming on very fast, slowing the car quickly. |
BRAKE BEDDING PROCEDURE |
PFC
brake pads are pre-bedded
from the factory.
It is essential NOT to drag your foot
on the brakes. Make several slow stops or stabs to assure actuation. Then make
several normal hard stops while under normal hard lap conditions. Assume normal
driving pace. |
