Performance Brake Pads use a performance friction compound engineered for Acura. This is a compound we recommend for drivers seeking braking capability beyond typical factory pads—with stable pedal feel and consistent response when braking loads rise.

Brake feel and consistency depend heavily on compound stability and correct bedding. Compared with many factory pad formulations, this compound typically delivers higher friction levels and improved fade resistance when installed correctly and bedded-in properly.

Features & Benefits

• Increased braking torque vs typical OEM pads
• Stable friction characteristics across a broad temperature range
• Improved resistance to fade under repeated braking
• Predictable pedal feel with progressive modulation
• Compatible with OEM and performance replacement rotors
• Bedding-in required to establish a consistent transfer layer

Best For

Best performance street pad upgrade for drivers who want stronger bite and better fade resistance than typical factory pads.

Common Questions

Are these better than factory brake pads?
In most applications, yes. Expect stronger bite and improved fade resistance, especially during repeated stops. Final results depend on rotor condition and proper bedding.

Do I need to bed these pads in?
Yes. Bedding is critical to build a stable transfer layer on the rotor and to achieve the friction and consistency the compound is designed for.

Will they make noise or dust?
All performance pads can produce some noise and dust depending on the vehicle and installation. Correct bedding and clean hardware help minimize both.
