- Designed to operate effectively within rotor temperatures from 0 to 380°C, accommodating both street and track conditions
- Exclusive rear brake application to enhance drifting control and rear brake feel
- Compatible only with standard/base calipers, ensuring proper fitment and performance
- Reduced brake fade under demanding conditions for consistent pedal feel
- Minimal dust generation compared to conventional metallic pads
- Precision manufacturing for exact fit and easy installation
Construction & Design:
The D1 Spec pads utilize a super graphite metallic compound that balances aggressive braking performance with longevity and rotor friendliness. This advanced material formulation provides excellent thermal stability and friction consistency, critical for rear brake applications where modulation and control are paramount. The pads are engineered to maintain optimal performance across a wide temperature range, ensuring dependable braking from cold stops to high-heat drifting scenarios. Project Mu’s rigorous quality standards ensure each pad meets precise dimensional tolerances for seamless integration with the vehicle’s standard calipers.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Project Mu D1 Spec Brake Pads is straightforward for vehicles equipped with standard rear calipers on the Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, Toyota GR86, and Subaru BRZ from 2013 and later. These pads are designed as direct replacements and require no modifications to the brake system. It is important to verify that your vehicle does not have the Performance Pack or Brembo calipers, as these pads are not compatible with those setups. Proper bedding-in procedures are recommended to maximize pad performance and longevity.
