PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1620) E162042010
The PAGID RS 42 is a proven track compound with stable, medium friction and strong pedal feel. It gives confident bite, easy modulation, and low fade across repeated hard stops. Ideal for track days, sprint racing and tarmac rally where consistency and control matter.
RS 42 works from low temperatures, so it performs well on the out lap and in cooler, wet conditions. It is kind to discs and offers good pad life for its performance level. For very heavy cars or long endurance races, a higher temperature compound may be better.
