PAGID RST 1 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 3278) S3278T01001
Built for short, intense sessions where maximum stopping power matters. PAGID RST 1 delivers a very high initial bite, strong friction from cold, and confident braking lap after lap in sprint racing.
Why choose RST 1
– Very high bite for short braking zones and late braking.
– Stable friction across a wide temperature range.
– Strong release and pedal feel for precise control.
– Best for sprint, qualifying and rally stages. Not intended for long endurance stints.
Track use only – not for road use. Expect higher noise, dust and disc wear than road pads.
Compound suitability
– Ideal for: sprint circuit racing, time attack, rally (tarmac/gravel), hillclimb, drift.
– Suits aggressive driving and high-grip tyres (semi-slick or slick).
– Warms quickly but performs best with some heat in the system.
– If you need lower wear for long races, consider an endurance-focused compound instead.

Pad Shape 3278 is used in a range of popular motorsport calipers and big brake kits. Typical use covers track-prepared hot hatches, saloons, GT cars and single-seaters. Please use our vehicle lookup to confirm compatibility, or see the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.
