Pagid Racing & Performance Brakes

Since their introduction Pagid brakes have been developed and built in Europe. You can be sure their brakes are built to the strict European parts standards for all sorts of vehicle applications. You can learn more about how rotors are made in this blog. Aside from their passenger car and commercial vehicle brakes, Pagid is well known in the racing world. They have a long history in World Rally racing and many other racing series.

While Pagid prides themselves on their racing utility, the brand got their start in passenger and commercial vehicles. Each year they continue to develop braking solutions for many cars and trucks on the road today. They also offer drum brake shoes, which are becoming harder and harder to find.

With almost 100 years in business, you know Pagid brake parts are quality products. Their commitment and focus on brakes specifically has helped them to become a leader in the brake industry. They offer everything from OE equivalent pads and rotors, to more racing-focused 2 piece rotors and racing pads. Their use in countless passenger vehicles and race cars across the planet speaks to their value. You can learn more about Pagid’s long brand history here.

Like many brakes, Pagid rotors and pads do require a bedding in-period. A bedding or break-in period is important if you want your new brakes to perform well. During this process the brake pads will deposit an even layer of friction material on the rotors. This process ensures that:

• - Optimal performance is achieved right out of the gate
• - There is proper brake operation (breaking in your brakes is a way to stress-test them)
• - You get a feel for how your new brakes operate
• - Smoother and quieter braking function is achieved

We've developed this guide to help you if you'd like to learn more about how to bed in your pads.

Pagid uses a color code technology to help break down temperature ranges for varying use-cases. For example, an endurance race car has to run for numerous hours with pads at hot temps. But a passenger car is less likely to have hot pads for the full duration of it's travel, so it can use a ‘cooler’ color compound like blue or grey.

Aside from the racing technology, Pagid does offer many OE equivalent brake replacements. You can find their pads here, and their rotors here. It's easy to check to make sure they have the right fit for your vehicle.

Like many brands, Pagid brakes are designed to last over 20,000 - 30,000 miles. They should be regularly checked throughout their life-cycle and especially after 20,000 miles. Pagid the best-engineered friction materials so you get excellent friction performance along with a low dust level and improved fuel mileage through the life of your brakes.

Pagid offers a ‘25/25’ warranty on their parts. Your warranty lasts for 25 months or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
