RS4-2 (known by many as 'PAGID Blue'). Originally developed
in the late 1980's RS4-2 remains our biggest selling and most versatile

Technically, RS4-2 is a carbon based compound with a medium friction
level. It has an excellent low temperature response, remains very
stable over a wide temperature range, and can withstand constant
temperatures up to 600°C. RS4-2 is a very user-friendly compound
with excellent modulation and 'feel'. Drivers report excellent pedal-feel
that gives confidence in extreme braking situations. With its optimum
blend of performance characteristics RS4-2 is widely used across
many forms of Motorsport from single seaters (Formula 3), through
sports car racing (Britcar), to Group N rallying on gravel and wet
tarmac surfaces.
Increasingly, it is the preferred choice of brake friction for
competitors in both historic rallying and circuit racing. Subject
to the requirement of Regulation EC90* it is also widely fitted
as an upgrade material for road cars.
Lower Disc Wear Another significant advantage of RS4-2, in comparison
to many competitor products, is its relatively low wear rate on
the brake discs. Inferior pads may appear to work well for a short
period, but the wear rate of the pads and the brake discs can be
very high.
Over the course of a season the PAGID RS4-2 product will
often show not only a performance advantage but may also save you
£££'s when the replacement cost of pads and discs
is calculated. PAGID RS4-2 is available in over 100 different pad
shapes covering most of the popular racing calipers and many high
performance road car applications.
