PAGID RST 1 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1595) S1595T01001
The PAGID RST 1 is a high-friction race compound built for hard, repeated stops. It gives a strong initial bite, consistent pedal feel, and stable braking at very high temperatures. Ideal for sprint racing and short endurance where maximum stopping power matters.
Why choose RST 1
- Very high friction with strong initial bite
- Stable performance at high temperatures
- Confident pedal feel and modulation (easy to control brake force)
- Fade resistant under repeated heavy braking
- Best on the front axle when used with a complementary rear compound
Best suited for
- Sprint race, time attack, hill climb, rally tarmac
- Short endurance stints with high grip tyres
- Drivers who want maximum bite and short stopping distances
Track use only – not recommended for road. Expect brake noise, dust, and faster disc wear compared to road pads.
Compound behaviour
- Works once warm, excels at medium-high temperatures
- High torque from cold-to-hot with strong initial response
- Moderate pad and disc wear when driven hard

Bedding guidance
Heat the pads with several medium stops to build temperature, then a few firm stops. Allow a full cool-down with minimal braking. This helps the pad layer transfer to the disc for consistent performance.
