Frequently Asked Questions About Pagid Performance Braking (FAQ)

• Q: What is the main difference between Pagid "Racing" and "Street+" brake pads?

• A: Pagid Racing pads (RST, RSL, RSC series) are engineered for extreme track conditions, offering maximum friction, high-temperature stability, and fade resistance, often with increased noise and dust. Street+ pads provide significantly improved stopping power and thermal stability over OEM for street use, with a better balance of comfort, lower noise, and less dust.

• Q: Are Pagid brake pads difficult to bed-in?

• A: Proper bed-in procedure is crucial for all performance brake pads, including Pagid. It ensures optimal performance and longevity. While specific procedures vary by compound, it generally involves a series of controlled stops to gradually bring the pads and rotors to operating temperature and transfer an even layer of friction material. Allow the pads to cool down after the initial bed-in process.

• Q: What brake fluid should I use with Pagid performance brake pads?

• A: For high-performance and track applications with Pagid pads, it is highly recommended to use a high-temperature racing brake fluid (e.g., DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 with higher wet/dry boiling points) to prevent fluid boil and ensure a consistent pedal feel under extreme conditions.

• Q: Will installing Pagid brake pads void my vehicle's warranty?

• A: Modifying your vehicle with aftermarket performance parts, including brake pads, may affect your factory warranty. It is advisable to consult with your vehicle manufacturer or dealer regarding their specific warranty policies before undertaking any modifications.
