APR OE Replacement Advance Street Brake Pads (BRK00042)

If you're looking to upgrade your braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability, the APR OE Replacement Advance Street Brake Pads are your go-to solution. Designed as a direct replacement for your factory brake pads, these advanced street pads provide a significant boost in performance, making them perfect for spirited driving while ensuring safety and reliability in everyday use.

Performance and Functionality

The APR brake pads maintain fade-free performance at operating temperatures that far exceed those of typical OE pads. With a high friction coefficient, these pads are engineered to optimize torque curves, allowing you to extract the maximum grip from your street-legal tires without the risk of overwhelming them and causing premature wheel lockup. This means you can enjoy confident braking whether you're navigating city streets or tackling winding backroads.

One of the standout features of these pads is their low thermal conductivity, which helps to slow the heat transfer to critical components like the brake calipers, pressure seals, and brake fluid. This design not only enhances durability but also contributes to a pedal feel typically associated with entry-level race pads, providing excellent cold response and minimizing disc wear—qualities that standard race pads often lack when used on street cars.
