PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 8000) E8000R4201
The PAGID RS 42 is a trusted racing compound for track days, club racing and tarmac rally. It gives stable, predictable braking with a smooth pedal feel. Initial bite is moderate, modulation is excellent, and fade resistance is strong once up to temperature. It is kind on discs and wears well for a motorsport pad.
RS 42 compound overview
– Medium friction compound with consistent feel across a wide temperature range.
– Easy to control on the limit – ideal for learning tracks or long sessions.
– Low disc aggression compared to more aggressive race compounds.
– Strong cold bite for a race pad, so usable in mixed conditions.
Best use and vehicle suitability
– Track day and club racing for hot hatches and lightweight sports cars.
– Classic and historic racing where low disc wear and control matter.
– Tarmac rally and sprint events needing stable, repeatable stops.
– Endurance stints on lighter cars or the rear axle on heavier cars.

Important notes
Racing compound – not R90 approved for road use. Expect more dust and possible noise than OE pads. For best results, pair with quality high-temperature fluid and performance discs.

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.
