• Asbestos-free friction compound for environmental safety and health
• Excellent initial bite for confident stopping power in everyday driving
• Low dust generation to keep wheels cleaner
• Reduced brake squeal for quieter operation
• Non-steel material construction optimized for rotor compatibility
• Effective operating temperature range from 0 to 400°C, suitable for street conditions
• Consistent friction coefficient between 0.37 and 0.40 for reliable braking feel
• Simple bolt-on installation with no modifications required

Construction & Design:

The Project Mu NS street pads are crafted from a proprietary non-steel friction material that balances performance and longevity. This asbestos-free compound is engineered to provide strong initial bite and stable friction characteristics across a wide temperature range, making it ideal for daily driving scenarios. The pads are precision-molded to fit the rear calipers of the specified vehicles perfectly, ensuring even wear and consistent contact with the rotors. Their design minimizes dust and noise, enhancing the overall driving experience without sacrificing braking efficiency.

Performance & Sound

These brake pads deliver outstanding initial stopping power, which is critical for street driving where quick response and confidence are paramount. The friction material is formulated to reduce brake squeal, providing a quieter braking experience compared to many aftermarket pads. Additionally, the low dust formulation helps maintain wheel appearance, reducing the frequency of cleaning and upkeep.
