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