The temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection. Pads should maintain the proper amount of friction for stopping power within the temperatures to be achieved on the track. Overall wear rate should also be considered. For most asphalt and road racing applications, high temperature compounds, in excess of 1000° F, are typically required. Dirt track, drag racing, and high-performance street applications usually operate at temperatures between 500° F and 1000° 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 track performance. If friction loss (pad fade) due to overheating occurs, better cooling, a heavier rotor, or pads with a higher temperature range may be required.
