| At Performance Friction,
there is no good, better, or best. They are all the best.
Carbon Metallic®
pads will not fade, even under the most extreme
conditions. They are consistent, too. From the time you
first put in a set of Performance Friction brake pads to
the end of the pad life, you will get the same level of
performance. This means the car or truck will stay
balanced front to rear and no matter how much you wear
the pads, they will not pull to one side. Your braking
performance will be unmatched. |
|
Our Carbon
Metallic®
pads are extremely dense. This keeps compressibility to
virtually nothing. The result is better pedal feel. When
an ordinary brake material compresses, it becomes an
unpredictable factor in your braking system. Heat affects
the compressibility of ordinary pads, so compressibility
can change depending on conditions. When you release the
brakes with less-dense pads, you may not get a complete
release. With Performance Friction's Carbon
Metallic®
pads you can modulate your brakes with much more finesse. |

Braking performance is when you
get off the brakes, you're off. Different
applications require various amounts of braking
torque. Performance Friction pads come in four
series to meet these demands. Our Z-RatedTM series is a street
version of our compound. The 80 series offers a
medium amount of braking torque under race
conditions. The 83 series provides a high degree
of braking torque. Our newest pads are designed
for limited high-end applications, as the 93
series gives the ultimate braking torque
possible. |

Performance
Friction has set new standards in the design of
brake pads for racing, high-performance street
applications, fleet trucks, and OEM use. We have
developed many of our own testing procedures and
related equipment, implemented quality-control
programs that really work, pioneered
manufacturing processes that are still unmatched,
and throughout it all, kept the performance of
our product foremost in our goals. |
|
| |
We also realize that
machines and procedures alone will not get you to the
front. That's why we have extremely talented people on
our staff who truly care about our product. Our tech line
is available to answer your questions, and we also attend
many trade shows and race events throughout the year.
We've gotten to where we are through outstanding people,
superior engineering and dedication to continuous
improvement. |
| Ionic FusionTM
is a patented process that Performance Friction developed
to prevent debonding of disc brake pads under extreme
conditions, one of the most evident modes of failure. The
integrally molded disc pads can handle a great deal more
shear than other pads on the market. This test was
conducted on medium-duty school bus pads to show the
difference under severe conditions. Four different brands
of pads were subjected to an accelerated test simulation
where the pads were submitted to a continuous heat soak
at 550ºF for eight days. Performance Friction's Carbon
Metallic®
pads with Ionic FusionTM
start out with a much stronger pad bond and retain that
superiority throughout the test period. |
