RSC 1 Racing Brake Pad Set

The Pagid RSC 1 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 8088) is a versatile compound designed specifically for vehicles equipped with OEM carbon-ceramic brake discs. It delivers a balanced performance profile, offering confident initial bite even when cold, robust stability at high temperatures, and excellent modulation for precise control. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding applications such as fast road driving and track days, providing dependable stopping power without excessive wear on expensive rotors. Constructed from a low metallic resin-bonded material that includes steel and aramid fibers, the RSC 1 compound ensures good all-round characteristics suitable for various usage conditions. It is optimized for carbon-ceramic systems, providing a stable and predictable friction coefficient across a wide temperature range. Drivers will appreciate its good cold performance for daily use and its fade resistance during spirited track sessions, all while contributing to low disc wear and a consistent pedal feel. Pagid Racing recommends a specific bed-in procedure for optimal performance: start with several gentle stops to warm the pads and discs, followed by a series of medium stops to build an even transfer layer. It is crucial to allow the brakes to cool with minimal pedal use before engaging in hard driving. Importantly, the RSC 1 compound is engineered exclusively for carbon-ceramic discs and must not be used on cast iron rotors. Always confirm that pad shape 8088 and part number S8088C01001 match your vehicle's calipers before ordering.
