Temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection. Pads must maintain adequate friction for good stopping power within the temperatures to be reached on track. Overall wear rate should also be considered. Most paved oval and road racing applications generally require high-temperature compounds, in excess of 1,000°F. Dirt track, drag racing, and high-performance street applications typically operate in temperatures between 500°F-1,000°F. Please note these are general ranges and 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 pads with a higher temperature range may be required.
