How do you primarily use your vehicle?
This is the single most important factor in matching you to the right compound.
🏙️
Daily Driver
Commuting, errands, highway — normal street conditions
✓
🛣️
Spirited Street
Street-driven but you enjoy pushing it on backroads and canyons
✓
🔄
Dual Purpose
Street-driven but you take it to track days or HPDE events
✓
🏁
Track / Race
Regular track days, time attack, club racing, or dedicated race car
✓
🪨
Off-Road / Heavy Duty
Off-road, overlanding, towing, armored vehicles, or military/LE use
✓
How would you describe your braking style?
Be honest — this helps match bite and pedal feel to how you actually drive.
🕊️
Smooth & Progressive
I want easy, linear feel. Comfort and predictability over outright bite.
✓
⚖️
Firm but Controlled
I brake firmly when needed but don't threshold brake every corner.
✓
🔥
Late & Aggressive
Maximum initial bite. I brake deep and hard, every time.
✓
🎯
Trail Braking
I carry braking into corners — I need consistent release and feel.
✓
What's the highest heat scenario your brakes will see?
Compounds are engineered around specific temperature windows. Choose the most extreme situation you'll regularly encounter.
Cold
Street
Sport
Track
Race
❄️ Cold Climate / Gentle Use (under 100°C)
Mountain driving in cold temps or very gentle braking — needs immediate cold bite from the first stop
✓
🟢 Normal Street (100–400°C)
Typical daily driving — brakes rarely see sustained heat buildup
✓
🟡 Spirited / Mountain Passes (400–600°C)
Long descents, heavy vehicles, spirited canyon driving or repeated hard stops
✓
🔴 Track / HPDE (600–900°C)
Sustained hard braking on circuit — brakes get genuinely hot every session
✓
⚫ Racing (900°C+)
Endurance, sprint, or club racing — maximum sustained heat every lap
✓
How do you feel about brake dust and noise?
Higher-performance compounds often produce more dust and occasional squeal. Tell us your tolerance.
🤫
Keep It Clean & Quiet
Clean wheels and silent operation matter to me. I'll trade some peak bite for this.
✓
🤷
Some Dust Is Fine
Happy to clean wheels more often if it means better braking.
✓
💪
Performance Only
Dust, squeal, smell — I don't care. Give me the best stopping power.
✓
How important is rotor longevity to you?
Aggressive compounds can accelerate rotor wear. On Alcon-grade rotors, this is especially worth considering.
💰
Rotor Life Matters
I want pads that are gentle on rotors. Replacement costs are a real concern.
✓
⚖️
Balanced Trade-off
I'll accept moderate rotor wear for meaningfully better stopping power.
✓
🏆
Performance First
Rotors are a consumable. I'll replace them as needed. Max stopping power wins.
✓
What's your budget per axle set?
Our catalog ranges from ~$100 to $500+ per axle. Every tier has excellent options — this helps us match you to realistic choices.
💵
Under $200
Strong performance at an accessible price point
