PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 2405) E240542010
A proven track-focused pad with strong, predictable bite and excellent control. RS 42 (also known as RS4-2 Blue) delivers stable braking from low to high temperatures, making it ideal for fast road, track days, club racing and tarmac rally where consistency and pedal feel matter.
Why choose RS 42
– Fast warm-up with confident initial bite
– Smooth, linear torque for easy modulation and control
– Low fade at sustained high temperatures
– Gentle on discs compared to more aggressive compounds
– Reliable lap-to-lap performance
Compound suitability
RS 42 suits drivers who want a balanced race compound without the harshness of full sprint pads. It offers good cold performance, strong mid-range bite and stable friction when hot. For heavy cars, aero grip, or long endurance stints, consider a higher temperature compound such as RS 14 or RS 29.
Typical use
– Track days and fast road
– Club racing and sprint events
– Tarmac rally and historic racing
– Lightweight to medium-weight cars

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.
What do our stock statuses mean?
1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).
LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.
0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.
MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.
0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.
OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.

Thank you, Team PP
In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
