FMSI D154 Shape, 15mm thick standard with 17mm option
Popular brake pads for GM Metric Calipers. Pads sold as an axle set unless a "split pad" option is chosen in the drop down menu above. Pad pictures are representative only.
Standard Gorsuch GM Metric brake pads are 15mm thick while the new thick pads designed for .810" rotors only are 17mm thick. The thick pads are designed to be long-lasting, eliminate the need for pad spacers, and generally help with caliper/piston stability as they keep the piston further inside the caliper bore.
The "split pad 4 corner" setup is designed to provide a popular dirt car pad setup including the following - please note there is a 15mm and 17mm rear pad option. 17mm pads only work with .810" wide rotors:
- (1) corner of #2 compound (left front)
- (1) corner of #0 low friction compound (right front)
- (2) corners of #4 compound (rears)
The "splint front pad" setup includes the following:
- (1) corner of #2 compound (left front)
- (1) corner of #0 low friction compound (right front)
#0 Compound
- For applications requiring lower torque
- Medium to low friction levels with linear friction curve with rising temperature
- Extreme high temperature fade resistance
- Excellent modulation and release characteristics
- Repeatable performance
- Popular RF option for dirt cars to help the car turn
#2 Compound
- For medium to high horsepower applications that require higher friction levels
- Similar friction levels to the #4 Compound
- Linear friction curve with temperature rise with excellent release characteristics
- Superb abraded disc wear
- Maximum high-temperature stability
- Popular front option
#3 Compound
- Great for rear applications that require less friction but same level of control as the #4 Compound
- Slight reduction in friction compared to #4 Compound
- Excellent pedal modulation for applications requiring a medium friction level
- Flat friction curve with temperature rise
- Extreme fade resistance
- Popular medium-rear option for dirt and asphalt cars
#4 Compound
- All purpose pad for high grip, high power applications
- Superior pedal feel and modulation characteristics
- Formulated for high initial bite
- Slight friction rise with temperature
- Extremely low pad and abraded disc wear
- Most popular rear pad for dirt cars
