When building a car, most people are generally only concerned with one thing: power. Horsepower is what will get you there in the shortest amount of time. It's what will help carry you into a corner, through a corner, and out of a corner. With our obsession with speed and horsepower, it's no wonder why so many racers and enthusiasts overlook one crucial aspect of a car's overall performance: braking.

The most basic component in a vehicle's braking system is the brake pad. Yet, when shopping for new brake pads, it's probably also the hardest to choose, given the wide range of options most cars have. That's why Peak Performance has made the decision easy for you. We spoke with friends, family, customers, road racers, drifters, drag racers, truck drivers, and even our mailman (not really, but you get the picture) to find out what kind of brake pad our customers are looking for. What we came up with is what we believe to be the most aggressive street pad on the market. Those of you who have "experienced" other aggressive (i.e. race) pads will be delighted to learn that the Peak Performance brake pads were specially manufactured by Performance Friction (PFC) to our exacting specifications, two of which were low noise and very little "warm up". PFC took their highly successful and highly sought after 'Z Compound' and specially re-formulated it for our Peak Performance brake pads, producing a new and improved pad compound that is only available through Peak Performance, no where else. What we ended up with was the best of both worlds, the stopping power and resistance to heat of race pads combined with the low noise, low wear properties of street pads, or what we call, a hybrid brake pad, like no other on the market.

• Excellent brake modulation, a critical characteristic when controllability under braking is valued over ultimate stopping power
• Substantially reduced brake pad noise versus other aggressive brake pads, only slightly more noise than silent street pads
• Lower wear, Peak Performance brake pads outlast competitive pads by as much as THREE TIMES
• Reduced brake temperatures, greatly reduces brake fade or premature disc failure
• Wide operating temperature, from 167F to 2000F, ensures your brakes are ready when you need them, under any circumstances, street or strip, hot or cold
• Greatly decreased "warm up" time to achieve maximum braking performance over comparable aggressive brake pads, yet still provides excellent braking performance when completely cold
• Special formulation includes PFC's unique "lubrication" package which provides excellent brake pad release properties and reduces overall drag in the braking system, decreasing unnecessary disc wear and brake noise
