Carbone Lorraine Sintered Race Pads
RC5+ average friction coefficient µ = 0.40
– The newest compound in the CL range, the RC5+ was developed for lightweight vehicles or racing in low grip conditions (street tyres, gravel, mud, snow, water, etc.). An excellent track day compound. It offers moderate friction levels, low noise, is easy on OEM discs, and has excellent cold stopping power. Additionally, it can be used on the front or rear axle of vehicles to change the brake bias where standard bias adjustment is not possible.
RC6 average friction coefficient µ = 0.50
– Carbone Lorraine’s original compound, RC6 was designed to apply to a wide range of motor sports, from rally to circuit. It has a high and very flat friction level and can be used successfully in almost every type of race car. Low compressibility provides a stiff pedal which greatly increases feedback and allows for easier modulation. It can also be used in the front or rear axle combined with the RC8 or RC5 to adjust bias.
Since sintered pads have a very low compressibility, so they provide a stiff brake pedal feel of which greatly increases feedback and allows for easier modulation. They also have a working temperature range of 0-1100’C, making them capable of handling any race application.
