PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1283) E128342010
PAGID RS 42 is a proven track compound for consistent, controllable braking. It gives strong bite, stable friction and excellent pedal feel under repeated hard stops. Ideal for track days, club racing and tarmac rally. Works from lower temperatures than many full race pads, so confidence builds quickly on the first laps.
Expect low pad wear and moderate disc wear for a racing pad. Modulation is smooth, making it easy to trail brake and balance the car. Not designed for quiet road use – these can make noise and dust more than OE pads.
Track/race use recommended. Check local laws before road use.
Key benefits
- Confident initial bite with stable friction
- Excellent modulation for precise control

- Reliable performance across repeated heat cycles
Typical applications
– Track day and club racing on light to medium-weight cars
– Sprint and tarmac rally stages
– Often used on rear axle with a higher-friction front compound (e.g. RS 14)
