Performance pads are available in several different compounds for either street, track or competition use to ensure optimum and consistent performance for stopping distance and temperature sensitivity.They are built with materials like acrylic fibers, street resins,and other non asbestos materials designed to hold up to both extreme heat and superior friction coefficients.Brake pads are designed to operate best within a prescribed temperature range.They usually last longer than organic OEM materials or aftermarket stock replacement types.
