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