for Evora • S • 400 • GT cars
We’ve been using Pagid brake pads for over 20 years and they are absolutely our favorite! We’ve always felt Pagids give the highest level of performance with the best combination of usability and maintenance so when we found the opportunity to carry our favorite brake pads, we had no hesitation in accepting.
For “High Performance Driving Events” (HPDE or track events) and most levels of amateur competition, we recommend the RSL29 pads—for those familiar with Pagid from the 1990s, these are updated versions of the tried-&-true ‘Yellows’.
The RSL compounds are long lasting pads that are also gentle on rotors, and best of all, easily modulated. For the Evora, we stock the RSL 1 & RSL 29 formulas. We recommend starting with the RSL29 on all four corners—these provide the best balance with a factory setup and are usable with minimal heat (they will work reasonably well before the brakes are warmed up to track temperatures).
If the rare cases where additional front bite is needed, RSL1 pads can be fitted once a baseline of RSL29s has been established. RSL1 pads are also available for the rears of 2016+ Evoras.
Higher aggression compounds are also available for some applications however these, like all higher competition pads, are finicky and require substantially more heat before being stable & usable. These pads also require much more driver attention and maintenance, and therefore we only recommend these formulas for experienced drivers in sanctioned competitive environments. Please email us for these special-order pads.
In warm California testing, our track- focused Evora S has responded very well to the RSL29 pads front & back. Like all high-performance pads, material build-up on the rotors can cause some brake squeal. Different cars and driver’s braking styles also affects the susceptibility to noise but this can usually be eliminated with a few intense (& safe) stops to scrub off the build-up.
Like most brake pads, Pagid pads will also need bedding-in. Pagid’s recommended on-track bedding-in procedure can be found here.
*IMPORTANT
Please be aware that racing brake pads are designed for race track usage and Pagid does not recommend or endorse them for street use. Like all racing brake pads, these may require heat build-up to operate at full efficiency. Please use caution with these pads in any environment especially during warm-up and in colder climates.
Sold in sets of four pads per axle (front or rear) and shipped directly from us.
Pagid has recently raised their prices up to 6% across their entire line-up. Luckily, our inventory was acquired pre-increase and we will hold our prices until the currently inventory is sold out.
50% of the Pagid brake pad shipping costs will be refunded if both a front & rear set are ordered AND shipped together. Please remind us if we forget to issue a refund.
