CL Brakes - 5004W46T17 Brake Pads
Description
CL Brakes (formerly known as Carbone Lorraine) are high performance sintered brake pads. These pads are used in the highest levels of motorsport worldwide. The pads are made of a unique sintered material resulting in all compounds having a very high friction coefficient and its uncompressible material gives a stiffer pedal and better brake modulation. Unlike other performance pads CL are gentle on the discs and require no specific bedding in procedure. One of its best features is that the pad material operates from cold and friction never decreases with high temperatures.
- Excellent friction/grip from cold
- Friction/grip doesn’t decrease with high temperatures
- No specific bedding in procedure necessary
- No material transfer
- Gentle on discs
- Very low wear rate
- Sintered metal compound brazed to high quality backing plate
- Environmentally friendly, no lead, no asbestos and no nickel
CL produce four different friction compounds:
RC5 Compound (Average friction coefficient µ = 0.4): This material in the range is particularly suitable for light car applications, thanks to its low wear rate in low grip race conditions (Gravel, wet, standard tyres etc…). Fitted in rear axle, it helps to get the right brake balance when brake bias adjustment is not possible. Easy to use for track day's thanks to its low noise level, moderate and very stable friction level, effective from cold and gentle with brake discs
