R90 compliant (EU standard for road pads)


This compound has been designed specifically for road use. It combines many of the characteristics found in a pure racing material (high friction,
absence of fade) but has improved cold performance, and reduced disc wear and noise.The key features of DS Performance are:

The key features are:

  • High friction coefficient (0.46 average)
  • Excellent disc life
  • Low wheel dust
  • Racing "feel"
  • Low heat transmission to caliper - thus avoiding fluid boil

Pad bedding
A series of applications, building from light pressure (x 5 applications) to medium pressures (x5 applications) on a quiet road from slow (initially) to moderate speeds. 
The applications should not be separated from each other by more than 30 seconds. There is no need for the vehicle to come to rest on each application.
Allow the brakes to cool (this will occur during normal driving anyway, but do not, for example, go straight into a steep hill descent as the first use of the brakes) and the pads will be bedded.
