Description

PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 8000) E8000R4201

The PAGID RS 42 is a trusted racing compound for track days, club racing and tarmac rally. It gives stable, predictable braking with a smooth pedal feel. Initial bite is moderate, modulation is excellent, and fade resistance is strong once up to temperature. It is kind on discs and wears well for a motorsport pad.
