PROJECT MU HC-EP FRONT PADS Part # Z123/HC-EP
THESE PADS ARE TO SUIT BMW E36 M3 E46 M3 E46 330 CSL E34 E39 SERIES HC-EP is a premium Performance Street, Race and Rally brake pad. HC-EP has more bite than both NS and B-Spec and has excellent fade resistance. Capable of operating at temperatures up to 800°c, this pad will handle almost all serious braking conditions. HC-EP is a genuine ‘cross over’ pad suitable for both road and race. HC-EP is extremely capable in competition environments so use this pad if you are involved in serious track day, rally etc. Along with temperature capabilities, HC-EP is renowned as a ‘drivers pad’ with unmatched driver feel and control. HC-EP BRAKES FEATURE Fade ResistanceWhen brake pads operate at high temperatures, high pressure gases can be created in the pad and can cause a 'gas layer' between the pad and rotor. This can make the driver feel like the brakes have lost performance as the brake pedal feels the same, but the car won't slow down as normal. This phenomenon is known as 'fade'. A slot is manufactured in all Project-Mu pads to offer the gases an escape route. Heat Treatment Project-Mu brake pads are subjected to heat treatment as part of the manufacturing process. This process 'burns out' unwanted materials in advance, reducing the gases that can cause fade. As a result, Project-Mu brake pads only need light 'bedding in' to match the pad to your rotor surface. Brake Pad Structural StabilityBrake pads are subjected to huge pressure from caliper pistons in unequal proportions across the pad. Brake pads must remain flat to offer optimal performance so Project-Mu use only the highest grade quality steel at the correct thickness to ensure this stability. Project-Mu pads are up to 20% stronger than some competitors. |
