PAGID RS-14 Black Brake Pads
RS14
is our most popular ceramic based friction material. Compared to
RS4-2 this compound offers
a good increase in initial bite and average torque, it has very
good modulation characteristics and offers good control against
wheel lock at all temperatures.
While showing a reduction in pad wear, particularly at high temperatures
it is still very easy in terms of disc wear and shows a reduction
in surface stress fractures. RS14 will also tolerate much higher
working disc temperatures than RS4-2 extending further the fade
resistance.

RS14 is also used as an OEM material and supplied as an up-graded
track day pad by Lotus Motorsport department. It has been shown
to exhibit the most suitable level of braking force, control and
modulation on popular track day cars such as Lotus
Elise and Caterham. Offering
consistent levels of performance and a much longer life than more
inferior competitors products, without excessive disc wear while
offering the driver supreme confidence.
Outside the track day environment RS14 has also shown success in
short to medium distance circuit racing as well as gravel and tarmac
rallying. RS14 offer very low heat conductivity which allows less
thermal transfer from disc through pad, thus resulting in lower
caliper and brake fluid temperatures which can have a critical effect
on ultimate brake performance.
RS14 has seen good levels of success at many levels of Motorsport,
from front applications on front wheel drive touring cars, front
and rear applications on 2 and 4 wheel drive rally cars, as well
as front and rear applications on GT and sports racing cars.
