Pagid Racing E1539RST5E
Brake pads racing RST 5E - shape 1539

Pagid Racing is the racing brand of the German TMD Friction group based in Essen: for more than 30 years it has developed brake pads, discs and brake fluid for motorsport, with compounds engineered in Germany and tested on circuits all over the world.

The RST family is developed for rally, sprint and stock car racing: instant pedal response, progressive behaviour, a consistently firm pedal at all temperatures, fade resistance even with very hot discs and good cold friction. Because of the pad colour many people simply call them "Pagid red".

The RST 5E is built for the demands of rallying and is the Evolution version of RST 5, with around 10% longer life. It transfers little heat, so it does not overheat the brake fluid and avoids fade felt at the pedal; friction rises progressively with temperature and stays reliable and consistent.
