PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 4823) E482342010
The RS 42 compound is a proven club-racing and track day favourite. It delivers stable, medium friction with a clean, predictable pedal. Cold bite is strong for easy first laps, and performance stays consistent as temperatures rise.
RS 42 is kind to discs and offers smooth modulation. It suits lighter to medium-weight cars, sprint racing, hill climbs, and front or rear axle use where balance and control matter more than outright bite.
Motorsport pad – not intended for everyday road use. Expect more noise and dust than OE pads.
Why choose RS 42?
– Strong cold performance and easy modulation
– Consistent feel over repeated hard stops
– Low to medium disc wear for longer component life
Typical applications
– Track days and club racing
– Rally tarmac stages
– Sprint and hill climb
– Rear axle on high-grip race setups or balanced front axle on lighter cars
