Published Date:05.Jan.2023/Updated Date:25.Jan.2023

RAtype

RA

  • Superior brake control even with great initial bite/response
  • Braking power directly proportional to brake pedal pressure
  • Perfect match with slick racing tires, competition-use tires, and high performance radial tires
  • Suitable for track day events, clubman race series, and one make races such as Civic inter cup.
  • The official brake pad of the Volkswagen Scirocco Cup China Series – RA type was chosen among the world class competitors for the homologated brake pads for the globally important race series for the car manufacturer.

Special Compound Series

Specom-α

  • Much more powerful friction and sharper initial bite than RA type
  • Ideal brake modulations/release control for trail-braking
  • Stable characteristics under high temperatures, high speed and high loads
  • Suitable for cars without masterback/vaccum brake boosters
  • Desgined for GT cars, time attacking machines, and high power tuning cars.

Specom-β

  • Longer life than RA type with powerful friction and strong initial bite
  • Stable braking power and brake feel even after long extended usage, which helps stabilized lap times.
  • Applicable to GT cars, clubman race cars, touring cars etc.
