ACT Brake Pads (REAR)
2011–2016 Scion tC
4236008
Overview:
The ACT Brake Pads (REAR) 4236008 are high-performance 4-pad rigid race discs designed specifically for the Scion tC model years 2011 through 2016. Constructed with premium ceramic friction materials, these brake pads deliver aggressive engagement for quicker shifts and enhanced driving precision. Ideal for racers and performance enthusiasts, they offer a harsher pedal feel that supports faster gear changes and improved control on the track.
These brake pads are engineered to handle the demands of smaller disc sizes commonly found in compact engines, making them a perfect fit for the Scion tC. Backed by ACT’s commitment to quality and a one-year warranty, these pads provide reliable performance and durability under high-stress conditions.
Key Features:
Designed to meet the needs of serious racers and performance drivers, these brake pads incorporate advanced materials and construction techniques:
- High-quality ceramic friction materials for moderate wear rates and excellent heat tolerance
- Rigid 4-pad race disc design that enhances disc engagement and delivers the quickest possible shifts
- Top-grade rivets securely fasten the pads, ensuring maximum strength and durability
- Chromoly hub that is heat-treated to withstand high temperatures and stress
- Lightweight construction reduces unsprung weight for improved vehicle dynamics
- Holds 28% more torque than typical organic materials, providing superior braking force
- Specifically engineered for smaller disc sizes and engines, such as the Scion tC’s rear brakes
- Recommended for race use only, optimized for track performance rather than street comfort
- Increased gear rattle is a trade-off for aggressive engagement and faster shifting
Construction & Design:
The ACT brake pads feature a rigid 4-pad race disc design that prioritizes strength and performance. The ceramic friction materials used are selected for their ability to maintain consistent braking under high heat while minimizing wear. The pads are assembled with premium rivets that provide a secure and durable connection, preventing pad separation during intense use.
The chromoly hub is heat-treated to enhance its burst strength and durability, ensuring the pads maintain integrity even under extreme racing conditions. This lightweight yet robust construction helps reduce overall rotational mass, contributing to quicker throttle response and improved handling.
Installation & Fitment:
These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the rear brakes of the Scion tC from 2011 to 2016. Installation is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points and hardware. No modifications, cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required, making them a convenient upgrade for racers looking to improve rear brake performance.
