PAGID RSL 1 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 8101) S8101L01001
RSL 1 is PAGIDs proven endurance racing compound. It delivers stable, high friction over long stints with very low fade. Bite is strong yet easy to modulate, so you can trail brake with confidence. Pad and disc wear are both low for a race pad, helping you go longer between changes.
This pad suits heavy, fast cars on iron discs that need consistent performance across heat cycles. It is a popular choice in GT endurance, touring car and long-distance sprint racing. Also works well on powerful track day cars that run sustained sessions.
Motorsport-only compound – not for public road use.
Best for
– Endurance racing on iron discs (GT, GT4, touring, prototypes).
– Front axle on heavier cars, or all round on balanced setups.
– Drivers wanting strong initial bite with smooth control and excellent fade resistance.
Fitment guidance
Pad Shape 8101 fits specific calipers and vehicles. It is commonly used across popular motorsport brake kits. Please use our vehicle lookup to confirm fitment, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.
Bedding-in
Apply a firm, progressive bed-in: several medium stops to build heat, then a few hard stops. Allow the brakes to cool fully before racing. This promotes an even transfer layer and consistent performance.
