PAGID RSH 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 8040) S8040H42001
Built for classic competition use, the PAGID RSH 42 is a medium-friction pad that warms up quickly and stays consistent under hard use. It gives strong cold bite for short stages and reliable performance through longer runs, with low wear on discs compared to more aggressive compounds. Ideal for historic racing, tarmac rally, hillclimb, and fast track sessions on older platforms.
Why choose RSH 42
– Quick to temperature with confident initial bite
– Stable, predictable braking across a wide heat range
– Easy to modulate for smooth control on the limit
– Low to moderate pad and disc wear for endurance running
Compound suitability
– Best for historic race cars and classic rally setups
– Suited to iron discs and popular period motorsport calipers
– Works from cold, resists fade as temperatures rise
– A balanced choice when you want performance without harshness
Vehicle and caliper fitment
Pad Shape 8040 is commonly used in popular motorsport calipers from AP Racing, Girling and similar period fitments on classic platforms. It suits many historic touring cars, GTs and rally cars. Please use our vehicle lookup to confirm fitment, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.
Important: Performance pads may produce more dust and noise than OE pads. Proper bedding-in is required for best results.

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.
