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.
Recommended for Late Model and
Oval dirt racing.
|
| 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. Recommended
for high grip and severe duty applications. |
90 COMPOUND |
| A
favorite pad for driving schools because of its modulation
characteristics.
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.
Recommended for applications
that demand good wear and modulation.
|
93 COMPOUND |
| Has a
higher bite and torque than the 90 compound. There is a
slight torque rise with temperature to handle the most extreme
conditions. Requires finesse as to not over slow the
car.
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.
The 90 compound has been
replaced by the 01, 03, and 05 compound, but is popular and
available in limited applications.
Recommended for high grip and
high down force applications.

|
97 COMPOUND |
| The 97 compound has a
higher torque than the 90 compound, and less initial bite than
the 01 compound. The torque curve is very flat, allowing less
wear. Very easy on the brake rotors. Recommended
for applications that demand excellent wear and modulation. |
01 COMPOUND |
This compound has the high flat
torque curve, providing excellent pedal modulation.
At the end of the stop, the 01 compound has less torque
scatter or improved modulation with excellent release.
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.Recommended
for a wide variety of applications: oval, open wheel,
endurance, all club racing and track day events. |
|
03 COMPOUND |
| This
compound has shown to have higher bite and average torque than
the 01 compound with a slight rise of torque with temperature
to handle severe conditions.
The 03 has excellent modulation
and release characteristics, less torque scatter and very good
disc conditioning properties.
Recommended for high grip and
high down force applications.
|
05
COMPOUND |
| The
05 has the highest initial bite and average torque of
any compound on the market. There is virtually
no torque rise with temperature. Release and
modulation characteristics are second to none with
wear slightly better than the 03 compound.
Recommended for high
grip, high down force, and severe duty applications.

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. |
