PFC Racing Brake Pad, BMW Rear, SAAB 9-5 Rear (D396)

Brand: Performance Friction Corporation (PFC)

Used extensively by BMW on the rear of many cars. Also fits the rear of 2000-04 SAAB 9-5 (FMSI D396, D692).

08 Compound gained immediate favor in Endurance Sportscar and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. It has a slight friction rise with temperature, with excellent release and modulation characteristics. Very low abraded disc wear with a fine grey slate like disc finish, similar to 01 Compound. Despite its considerable performance, 08 is one of the longest-wearing of all PFC compounds. It easily matches the wear of other brands, but with much higher bite. If temperatures are below about 950°F, 08 can be replaced with PFC 12 Compound for even longer wear.

11 Compound was developed from the popular 01 Compound for sprint and medium-distance racing. This compound was designed with improved bite, modulation, and release characteristics. The result is ultra-smooth braking with reduced wheel locking at the end of a stop. 11 can be used in a large spectrum of temperature ranges. Pad wear is on par with 01 Compound, with superior disc conditioning. Virtually zero taper wear when raced in a properly designed race caliper. It is ideal for use in medium- or low-grip situations such as hard spec tires or light cars with no downforce.
