Pagid RST 5E Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1361) Fits OBP-SS-4 & OBP-SSO-4

Engineered for high-performance racing applications, the Pagid RST 5E compound delivers exceptional stopping power and precision when it matters most. This racing brake pad is specifically designed to provide an aggressive initial bite, ensuring that drivers can respond quickly and effectively during intense moments on the track. With a remarkable ability to maintain stable friction levels, the RST 5E instils confidence in drivers, even under the stress of repeated high-speed braking.

Ideal for sprint racing and short endurance events, the RST 5E excels at facilitating quick lap times. Expect a firm pedal feel that not only provides feedback but also allows for fine modulation—enabling precise control over the braking force applied. Once these pads reach their optimal operating temperature, they exhibit outstanding fade resistance, ensuring consistent performance in high-pressure racing scenarios.

While the RST 5E is primarily tailored for motorsport applications such as track days, club racing, time attacks, hill climbs, and tarmac rallies, it can manage occasional road use. However, it is important to note that this pad is not suitable for daily driving due to its higher cold bite, increased noise levels, and greater dust production compared to standard original equipment (OE) pads.

Shape 1361 is crafted to fit a selection of motorsport calipers and big brake kits, but fitment may vary depending on your specific vehicle and brake setup. We recommend utilising our vehicle lookup tool to confirm compatibility or consult the Vehicle Fitment tab for comprehensive details regarding fitment options.

Key Features and Benefits of the Pagid RST 5E Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1361) Fits OBP-SS-4 & OBP-SSO-4 include:

Exceptional Bite: Experience powerful initial engagement with consistent torque throughout multiple braking events.

Precision Modulation: Achieve late braking with easy modulation, allowing for controlled and precise stopping.

Fade Resistance: Designed to withstand high temperatures, the RST 5E offers superior fade resistance to maintain performance.
