Description

RS 4-2-1

SPORT

BLUE

NEW Pagid "S" or "Sport" - This is a high performance compound with good fading characteristics and high cold friction. The most comfortable medium friction sport compound. The Sport Pad is street legal, rotor friendly and OE on various Ferraris and Corvettes. PAGID "S" Brake Pads are dipped in a anti-corrosion blue paint, with a layer also on the friction surface. This paint coating will disintegrate during the first braking applications without any loss of friction compared to our other non-coated compounds. In addition a majority of the "S" Line come with anti-noise shims. The "S" compound is the PAGID RS 4-2-1.

RS 4-2

BLUE

A medium friction racing compound with good cold friction and fading resistance up to 500°C (930°F). The 4-2 compound has an acceptable rotor wear rate and a very good modulation (adjustment).  It is a Classic Rally compound and is used also for small Single-Seater ( F3, F-Ford, Club Racing and Showroom Stock).

RS 4-4

ORANGE

This compound has a very good fade resistance and a higher average friction value than the RS 4-2. It is rotor friendly with a predictable, non-aggressive friction behavior (stable torque). Fading resistance up to 560°C (1.050°F). It is a very good rear compound for Touring Car applications in combination with RS 14 front pads. It’s main application is Porsche 911 racing. It is used on either Short Track or Long Distance; also for front and rear axles. It is also used on BMW Showroom Stock, all other Touring Cars and Single- Seater up to F3.

RS 7

BLACK

Digressive friction curve. Low friction rear axle racing compound, especially developed for front wheel driven cars.

RS 14

BLACK

This is a medium high friction value ceramic type compound with very good modulation, high fade resistance, low heat conductivity, and a good wear rate up to a temperature of 650°C (1.200°F).  It is kind on discs, with visible grooving, but a limitation of hairline cracks.  Applications: NASCAR, CART, F3, Touring cars, GT cars, WSC, Trans Am and Rally.

RS 15

GREY

Very high torque compound. It combines a 20% higher friction value than the RS14 with a slightly increased pad wear.  Needs finesse to avoid over braking the car. Good release characteristic and a quick bedding in procedure.  Although the "RS15" has very good modulation it might have an excessive bite for some applications.

RS 19

YELLOW

Best compound for endurance racing on the basis of the RS 14. A slight reduction of the friction value improves the modulation. Nevertheless, the friction value is enough for cars without power-assisted brake system and ensures comfortable low effort on the brake pedal. Constant temperatures up to 600°C (1.100°F) are possible. The combination of friction value, fading stability and low wear rates on pads and discs realized with this pad compound is unmatched up to now.  Due to its outstanding wear rate and drivability also used at many sprint races.  Application: All endurance racing cars from group N (Speed-WC, Grand Am Cup) up to GT and Sport-Prototypes.  A multiple winner of Daytona 24h, Le Mans 24h, Sebring 12h, Spa 24 h, Nürburgring 24h, often with no pad change and usually no disc change.

RS 29

YELLOW

New endurance compound. Improved version of the RS19. This compound combines the outstanding wear rate of the RS19 with a slightly higher coefficient of friction. For the time being only available in certain applications.

Pagid bed-in procedures:

To ensure maximum performance and customer satisfaction, new brake pads must be bedded in upon installation.  Correct bedding guarantees that new brake pads and new rotors work flawlessly together.  In order to function optimally, organic brake pads must develop friction coal on its surface.  This friction coal develops at a temperature of approximately 280°C (537°F).  It is very important that this temperature is reached continuously and slowly.  This gradual process generates temperatures that not only penetrate the surface of the brake discs and pads, but also distribute evenly through the whole disc and pad material.  This is essential when using new brake discs, since the disc often shows signs of stress (due to the casting process and fast cooling) in the materials.  A steady and careful warming and cooling process guarantees a good release of both materials. 

The bedding in/break in procedure should be done as follows:

bulletDrive at approx. 35 mph (60 kmh) for about 500 yards (solid front discs) to 800 yards (vented front discs) while slightly dragging the brakes (i.e. light brake pedal pressure).  This process allows the brake temperature to slowly and evenly build up to 300°C (572°F).
bulletNow, if possible, drive about 2200 yards maintaining the same speed without braking.  This will allow the pads and discs to cool down evenly.  After this cool-down, perform a normal brake application from 35 mph to 0.  No panic stops!
bulletNow, the friction surface has evenly developed friction coal, the pads have bonded with the disc surface, and tensions in the disc materials will have disappeared.
bulletOnly trained master mechanics should perform this procedure before delivering the vehicle to its owner.  Do not expect your customer to properly finish your brake job!
bulletThis bedding process is only suitable for the front axle - not the rear.  This is due to the brake force distribution of front and rear axles.  In order to reach 300°C (527°F) on the rear pads you would have to drive several miles with dragging brakes.  However, in that time the front brakes will be glowing red, overheating and thus destroying the front brakes.
bulletFinal note – don’t forget to clean hubs and check the wheel bearings. Also, the brake fluid should be replaced at least every 2 years.

Brake Fluid

ATE Super Blue and Gold Brake Fluids


ATE Super Blue Racing High Performance Brake Fluid is designed to excel within the extreme demands made on a race vehicle and exceeds all DOT4 standards. It is compatible with and will mix well with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 fluids.

The formula offers a minimal drop in boiling point due to outstanding water binding properties resulting in a long-lasting fluid that may not need to be changed for up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions. Products with a lower wet boiling point have to be replaced considerably more often (e.g., DOT3 products should be replaced annually). The overall high dry and wet boiling points make this fluid an excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too, where brake fluid is flushed less frequently than that in race-driven vehicles.

Features/Benefits of ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid:

bulletBlue tint of fluid makes bleeding brakes easier
bulletIdeal for race use, excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too
bulletBoiling point minimum: 536 degrees F
bulletWet boiling point minimum: 388 degrees F
bulletViscosity at -104 degrees F: max 1,400 mm 2/5
bulletDesigned to last up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions

The difference in these two fluids is the blue or gold color, which can aid you in flushing your brake system and adding new fluid.
