"No Compromises" It's a simple statement that "says it all" for Performance Friction, its distributors, and its customers. Since its inception in 1986, Performance Friction Corporation (PFC) has had two main goals:
1. Produce the highest performance product available on the market.
2. Be the performance product leader.
The sheer volume of teams using PFC products, the hundreds of poles, races, and championships won every year are evidence to the company's success. PFC indeed is well represented by teams using their product in racing circuits worldwide.
PFC engineers and manufactures race pads, discs, hats, and now calipers - offering a complete brake sub-system. The addition of the caliper has teams talking, virtually on the edge of their seats waiting to try the entire PFC package.
Performance Friction Corporation's mission is to build the best brakes in the world.
Racing champions know Performance Friction Brakes. Hundreds of races and more than 1,500 championships have been won on Performance Friction Carbon Metallic® pads, ranging from NASCAR Winston Cup to IndyCar to the Australian Porsche Cup. Last year alone, over 120 racing champions all over the world drove to victory on Performance Friction brakes.
Verizon, FedEx, Ryder, Budget, International and Freightliner, police fleets, school bus fleets, ambulances, and heavy haul-truck fleets are just a sampling of those who rely on Performance Friction Brakes.
PFC's newest high bite and torque compound and has gained immediate favor in the NASCAR, Sportscar and Open Wheel racing due to its unsurpassed performance. 07 have higher initial bite and higher average torque than any other PFC compound. 07 will have some friction rise with temperature for the most severe applications. The release and modulation characteristics are second to none. Very low abraded tisc wear with a fine micronic polished disc finish. Despote its considerable performance, 07 will have slightly better wear than 05. This compounds demands the most from the vehicle setup and is designed to handle the most severe applications. For High Grip, high downforce, or severe dute applications.
06 compound pads are very similar to PFC 01 for both the torque, within 4% of those values. Excellent release and control with very low wear. Very low abraded disc wear with a "powdery type" transfer layer. 06 pads are an excellent alternative or other brands of endurance but with much higher performance. Excellent for club racing type shapes as well in OE brake calipers where ABS is used.
PFC's newest compound, 05 has gained immediate favor in the NASCAR, Sports Car, and Open Wheel racing due to its unsurpassed performance. 05 has the highest initial bite and highest average torque of a compound on the market. There is virtually no torque rise with temperature. Release and Modulation characteristics are second to none with wear sightly better than 03. This compound demands the most from the vehicle setup and is designed to handle the most severe applications.
03 Compound has shown to have higher bite and higher average torque than 01 compound with a sight rise of torque with temperature to handle severe conditions. 03 has excellent modulation and release characteristics, less torque scatter than competiing pads, and very good disc conditioning properties.
The standard by which all brake pads are now judged. 01 has high initial bite, and torque, with very little torque rise with temperature. Ad the end of the stop, 01 compound has less torque scatter for improved modulation and excellent release. 01 Compound had good disc conditioning properties with low wear. Wear of more World and National Championships annually than any other brake pad on the market.
A Favorite of sports car endurance and NASCAR racing since its debut, winning races in CART, ALMS, Grand Am, ASA and Club Racing, 97 Compound has less initial bite and average torque than 01. It has great modulation, a very flat torque curve, and enhanced release characteristics. 97 is considered PFC "Endurance Compound" with the lowest wear of any PFC Compound and is also highly recommended as a general-purpose pad for Club Racing and Track
Replacing the perennial favorite 80 compound, 81 offers smooth and stable high performance torque with excellent cold bite for the dirt and asphalt racers that demand race ready friction. 81 compound also offers quicker release for unrivaled modulation with low wear and excellent disc conditioining properties.
