Hey guys, I simply had a query for anybody occupied with low mud brake pads. I do know that the Akebono euro ceramic brake pads are fairly fashionable with alot of bmw house owners on right here as a result of they produce little to no brake mud. Nevertheless, I do know that alot of customers additionally don’t love them as a result of they fade method too rapidly even on spirited driving and do not actually provide an excellent preliminary chunk.
Upon talking to Paragon brakes I believe there might probably be a considerably higher various brake compound to the akebono’s and different low mud ceramic brake pads – and that is the paragon p2 brake pad. These p2 brake pads are based mostly off of winmax’s brake pad compounds and I assume these are very comparable if not only a rebranded winmax w2 pad. So for these of you who do not know what the W2’s are, they’re extraordinarily extraordinarily good and properly reknowned pads within the JDM automotive world (I got here from the FRS world and that’s the place I skilled alot of winmax pads, however I did not get the possibility to attempt the W2’s however I’ve heard they’re glorious) and the W2’s are supposedly one of the best low mud avenue pads you may get. They provide extraordinarily low noise (imagined to be OEM ranges) and low dusting (on the extent of ceramic pads) however they provide considerably higher preliminary chunk in comparison with various ceramic pads with a whopping ~0.43-0.44 coefficent of friction, and are in a position to retain a comparatively excessive coefficent of friction in respect to temperature. So regardless of fading they need to retain extra friction than any various ceramic brake pad and never be utterly unuseable with exhausting driving on the road. So just about you should not be capable to fade these pads to a stage the place they’re unsafe/unuseable on the road.
This is a graph to point out it is coefficent of friction vs. temp:

So the one situation is Paragon would not inventory these pads as a result of they do not suppose there may be any curiosity, in order that’s the place you guys are available. In case you guys are probably occupied with shopping for these model of pads reply to this thread and vote within the ballot to point out paragon your curiosity. Paragon has informed me If sufficient of you guys need these pads then they will inventory it.
