Performance Friction Brakes Pads for Miatas

We had a few requests from our Spec Miata customers for some variety in Performance Friction's compound offerings. Up until now, Performance Friction only offered pads for the front and rear of Spec 1.6 & 1.8 Miatas in the 97 compound. Nothing necessarily wrong with that - the 97 is a great low-wearing compound with good modulation and a nice, flat torque curve.

But what if you're looking for a bit more stopping power? Well it took a bit of a commitment from us, but we now have the exclusive on the popular new 06 compound for both the front and rear of Spec Miatas. When compared to the 97 compound, 06's higher bite and torque in the beginning of the stop, and from Performance Frictions description:

Excellent release and control with very low wear. Very low abraded disc wear with a “powdery type” transfer layer. 06 pads are an excellent alternative to other brands of endurance compounds but with much higher performance. Excellent for club racing type shapes as well in OE brake calipers where ABS is used.


Available April/May 2011.
