| Tarox Brake
Pads |
| Fast Road/Strada (.112)
|
|
TAROX Strada pads are ideal for fast road use and everyday
driving. They work from cold and provide immediate response
without pre-heating like an OE pad but at the same time
offer a higher coefficient of friction for improved
braking power, improved resistance to high temperatures
and a longer service life than OE materials. They provide
excellent pedal feel and allow full control over braking
for the driver.
These pads are able to withstand temperatures up to
600°C and have an optimum temperature range of 150°C
to 200°C. For best results it is recommended that
the disc temperature does not exceed approx. 400°C.
- Low noise in most driving conditions
- Low disc wear
- Available for most applications
- Good pedal feel

Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.38
Typical = 0.35 |
|
| Rallye (.113) |
|
These pads are designed specifically for fast road
use. They are perfectly suited to spirited driving on
B-roads and country lanes. As with the Strada pad, they
work virtually from cold but at the same time they offer
a higher coefficient of friction for superior braking
power. Unlike many uprated pads which are either on
or off, these pads offer a more progressive feel which
allows the driver to have constant control over the
braking effort of the vehicle.
Able to withstand temperatures up to 700°C, this
pad has an optimum temperature range of 200°C to
300°C. For best results it is recommended that the
disc temperature does not exceed approx. 500°C.
|
Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.40
Typical = 0.35
|
- Low noise in most driving conditions, although can
be slightly noisy at low speeds
- Low disc wear
- Available for most performance car applications
- Gives a good, progressive pedal feel
|
|
| Rallye + (.401) |
Like the Rallye pad these pads are ideal for fast road
use, but also offer excellent performance for light track
day use. As with the Rallye compound, the Rallye+ works
virtually from cold but has a slightly higher coefficient
of friction and wider optimum operating temperature which
makes it ideal for light track use in most small performance
cars and hot hatches. Gives a very responsive pedal feel
due to the low compressibility level. Will withstand high
brake disc temperatures due to heat treating of the pad
surface. The Rallye+ pad also features film transfer technology
which prolongs disc and pad life.
Able to withstand temperatures up to 750°C, this pad
has an optimum temperature range of 200°C to 350°C.
For best results it is recommended that the disc temperature
does not exceed approx. 550°C. |
Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.41
Typical = 0.35 |
- Pad surface is heat treated which helps reduce brake
fade
- Low disc wear
- Will generate a Transfer Film on the disc surface
when running hot
- Available for selected applications
- Low noise in most driving conditions, although can
be slightly noisy at low speeds
- Good pedal feel

| Corsa (.114) |
| The Corsa pad is a great all-round pad. Although primarily
intended for race and track day use, the pads can also
be used to great effect for fast road use. Corsa pads
are effective from cold and therefore give maximum performance
at all temperatures. The high coefficient of friction
gives plenty of pedal feel and massive amounts of bite,
yet they are not hard on discs like some track type pads.
Able to withstand temperatures up to 800°C, this
pad has an optimum temperature range of 200°C to
400°C. For best results it is recommended that the
disc temperature does not exceed approx. 600°C.
|
Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.47
Typical = 0.43 |
- Low disc wear
- Available for selected performance applications
- Low noise in most driving conditions although can
be slightly noisy at low speeds
- Good pedal feel
|
|
| Corsa + (.501) |
| The ultimate street usable pad in the Tarox range, designed
with very fast road and hard track use in mind. These
pads perform best when warmed up, but still offer braking
power when cold. Can be slightly noisy in certain applications
if used on the street at low speed. This compound can
withstand near race conditions in terms of brake disc
temperature. Has a very responsive pedal feel due to even
lower compressibility but it still gives plenty of control
to the driver.
Able to withstand temperatures of up to 900°C,
this pad has an optimum temperature range of 250°C
to 550°C. For best results it is recommended that
the disc temperature does not exceed approx. 700°C
|
Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.48
Typical = 0.36 |
- Pad surface is heat treated which helps reduce brake
fade
- Low disc wear
- Will generate a Transfer Film on the disc surface
when running hot
- If used for street use, the pads are equipped with
anti noise shims in line with OE where applicable
- Available for certain specially selected applications
|
|
| Sintered (.115) |
| Formulated for fast road use with the Tarox Metal-Ceramic
discs, but also a very effective race compound for use
on regular cast discs. They give a very hard, racecar
style pedal feel due to a very low compressibility level
and although these pads are race orientated they still
give the driver full control over braking effort.
Able to withstand temperatures of over 900°C, this
pad has an optimum temperature range of 350°C to
650°C. For best results it is recommended that the
disc temperature does not exceed approx. 800°C.
|
Coefficient of Friction
Hot = 0.53
Typical = 0.46
|
- Long pad and disc lifetime, even under racing conditions
- Good initial bite and very consistent performance
when heated
- Firm pedal feel due to very low compressibility
level
- Recommended for track use on cars equipped with
Tarox 6/10 pot calipers
- Available for certain specially selected applications
|
|
| Racing (.601) |
| This is the material to use for pure racing
but will also give superior performance in road use when
combined with Tarox Metal-Ceramic discs. The pads give
a very hard pedal feel due to a low compressibility level
and they have a superior release characteristic compared
to other race materials making it easier to modulate.
They generate a transfer film when used hard on track.
Able to withstand temperatures of over 900°C, this
pad has an optimum temperature range of 300°C to
700°C. For best results it is recommended that the
disc temperature does not exceed approx. 800°C.
