The ER-1 pads are specifically engineered for light to medium-weight vehicles participating in HPDE, track days, time trials, or endurance racing. They offer a consistent medium-to-high friction level, ensuring you have the confidence you need when you need to stop on a dime. Plus, they boast a higher coefficient of friction than many competing endurance pads, all while maintaining a lifespan that won’t leave you wanting.

Installation Tips for Optimal Performance

Installing your new brake pads correctly is crucial for performance. Here’s a quick checklist:

  • Check and replace brake fluid as necessary.
  • Inspect all hydraulic components for wear and tear.
  • Examine the rotor for deep grooves or scoring; resurface or replace if needed.
  • If resurfacing isn’t required, make sure to remove any contamination from previous pads by sanding the rotors with 130-grit sandpaper and cleaning them thoroughly.
  • Inspect calipers to ensure they move freely and lubricate where necessary.
