Temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection. Pads must maintain the proper amount of friction for stopping power within the temperatures that will be reached on the track. Overall wear rate should also be considered. For most asphalt and road racing applications, compounds in the high-temperature range, above 538°C (1000°F), are generally required. Dirt track, drag racing, and high-performance street applications generally operate at temperatures between 260°C (500°F) and 538°C (1000°F). Keep in mind that these are general ranges and not absolute values. Numerous factors and unforeseen influences can affect brake temperature. The best indicator for pad selection will always be track performance. If pad fade (loss of friction) occurs due to overheating, it may be necessary to improve cooling, install a heavier rotor, or use pads with a higher temperature range.
