kevlar pads

Seem interesting. Do any other manufacturers do pads with kevlar strands in?

Mazda, apparantly 🙂

“The world of high performance brake pads has changed many times in the last few years. The first major factor was the banning of all asbestos in any brake material. The next was the introduction of carbon/metallic and carbon/kevlar material. There were initially many different combinations of compounds, virtually none of which were available for any MAZDA. This has finally all settled down, and we are now able to offer carbon/kevlar pads for all the MAZDA’s that work great for hard street driving, autocross/slalom, and road racing. The carbon/kevlar we offer is much less destructive to the rotors as compared to the carbon/metallic. They also require much less “bedding-in”, work fine when cool, warm up fast, and last the same as the carbon/metallic.”

Sounds good. Performance of resin + life time of sintered.

Awaits reports…..

Does the friction material stick to the backing plate though? 😈

I bought some off them at Fort William (they had a trade stand) I’ll be using them over the weekend and will let you know.

Did someone mention bedding in?

Will these make your rotors glow red/orange or do we need ceramic ones?

they sound like the Semi-metallic plus pads that Fibrax have done for a while. I’ve been using them for a couple of years now and think they are just as good as the resin ones but with the life of the sintereds. if these SSC ones are just as good i’ll be buying them. not sure the mixture is the same tho.

WackoAK or anyone else, any reports on how they work yet?

will they last 42% longer than organic pads?

no.

41% if your a fatty, and 43% if you wear lycra.
