View Full Version : Anyone have a handy site/list of various coefficients of friction of various brake pads?

And if there were graphs of those at various temperatures it would be even better.

...I did see a <a href="http://www.braketechnology.com/techinfo.html#frictiongraph">graph of coefficient of friction against temperature</a>, but there was no scale on the coefficient axis.

The Ferodo DS3000 at 0.60 has the highest coefficient of friction of any compound I've been able to find in a pad that will fit our rear calipers. To allow more flexibiliy with front pads while maintaining bias, I'd like to find a rear pad even higher.

These two tables both look like they originally came from Pagid,

1. From <a href="http://www.ecparts.co.uk/pagid/comp.htm">ecparts.co.uk</a>

2. From <a href="http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/htmlpages/techBRP03.htm">needforspeed.co.uk</a>

And the two charts,

Let me know if you think you can make sense from all this.
