Overview

The G-LOC Brakes R12 is a brake pad compound designed for high-performance applications. It features an excellent initial bite, high and consistent torque, and outstanding fade resistance. The R12 compound operates effectively within a temperature range of 173°F to 1860°F (78°C to 1015°C).

Constructed from a Carbon-Ceramic-Kevlar-Metallic blend, these pads offer superior modulation and release characteristics. They are recommended for HPDE and road course events, providing ideal performance for trail braking. However, due to elevated dust and noise levels, the R12 compound is not recommended for daily street use.

The G-LOC Brakes R12 is a high-performance brake pad compound engineered to deliver exceptional braking characteristics for demanding driving situations. Designed for track-focused applications, the R12 compound offers an excellent initial bite, high and consistent torque output, and outstanding fade resistance that surpasses other G-LOC compounds. Its temperature range spans from 173°F to 1860°F (78°C to 1015°C), ensuring reliable performance under extreme heat. These brake pads are constructed using a sophisticated Carbon-Ceramic-Kevlar-Metallic blend. This advanced formulation contributes to the R12's superior modulation and release capabilities, which are crucial for precise control during high-speed maneuvers and trail braking. While offering significant performance gains on the track, the R12 compound is explicitly not recommended for daily street use due to potentially elevated levels of dust and noise. The compound is designed to be more disc/rotor aggressive than the R10, but remains more rotor-friendly than many competing products. Specifically, the G-LOC R12 front brake pads are a correct fitment for 2014-2019 Corvettes, including both base JL9 and Z51 J55 models. It is important to note that these pads do not include the weighted damper found on OE style Z51 J55 brake pads. The product is proudly Made in the USA.
