CL Brakes Race Brake Pads - BMW 3 Series (F80) M3

CL Brakes Pad Compounds

CL Brakes RC5+

CL Brakes RC5+ has a moderate friction level (friction coefficient of μ=0.4) making it a versatile race brake pad and trackday compound. The RC5+ should be used in low grip situations such as if the car is running road tyres, or event conditions are mud, gravel, snow and water. This compound gives low noise, low dust and disc wear and works well in low temperature conditions.

CL Brakes RC6

CL Brakes RC6 is a wide ranging motorsport compound and is used in all disciplines - from rallying to circuit. The RC6 compound has a friction coefficient of μ=0.5 and gives a stiffer pedal and better modulation when compared to organic braking compounds.

CL Brakes RC6E

CL Brakes RC6E otherwise known as RC6 Endurance pads; offer a similar braking coefficient to the RC6 (μ=0.46) but has an extremely low wear rate making it ideal for endurance racing or for teams wanting a low cost braking solution over a race season.

CL Brakes RC8

CL Brakes RC8 has the highest friction level in the CL Brakes range.(μ=0.6). The RC8 compound is used in top level motorsport such as WTCC, WRC and NASCAR. The -R version is a grooved pad to give extra cooling to the braking system.

How To Look After Your CL Brakes

The CL Brakes are made from a sintered metallic compound. A raw blend of metal particles are compressed and then heated to melt together without the use of a resin. The CL Brakes are unsealed and due to their metallic nature are succeptable to the elements without the right care. We recommend a little more maintenance at the end of a wet trackday or race to reduce risk of rusting and causing a rare failure.
