Choose Your Brake-Pad Compound

P2 Sport Comfort — Street Use

The P2 compound is intended for daily-driven street vehicles where low noise, low dust, and predictable braking response are priorities.

• Non-metallic friction material
• Effective from ambient temperature
• Temperature range: Ambient to 932°F
• Average coefficient of friction: 0.29–0.32
• Improved initial bite and modulation over stock pads
• Minimal brake dust and noise
• Recommended for street use only
• Comparable category: Hawk HPS and Project Mu B-Spec

P3 Road & Track — Street, Autocross and Light Track Use

The P3 compound balances street drivability with increased temperature capacity for spirited driving, autocross, and occasional track sessions.

• Semi-metallic friction material
• Effective from ambient temperature
• Temperature range: Ambient to 1,112°F
• Average coefficient of friction: 0.34–0.37
• Strong modulation and control
• Low-to-moderate dust and noise
• Recommended for street and light track use
• Suitable for occasional track vehicles that still see regular street driving

R5 Track & Competition — High-Friction Track Use

The R5 compound is a dedicated track-oriented option with high friction, strong fade resistance, and a comparatively flat torque curve.

• Metallic friction material
• Temperature range: 212°F to 1,382°F
• Average coefficient of friction: 0.40–0.43
• Consistent braking across its operating range
• Precise modulation and release
• Increased dust and noise compared with P2 and P3
• Recommended for track use

R7 Track & Competition — Maximum-Friction Race Use

The R7 compound is Paragon’s maximum-friction option for advanced track events, competition use, and heavier or higher-speed vehicles.

• Metallic friction material
• Temperature range: 212°F to 1,562°F
• Average coefficient of friction: 0.48–0.53
• Maximum stopping power and heat capacity
• Strong fade resistance
• Good modulation and release characteristics
• Recommended for track and competition use only

Paragon publishes these compound specifications and intended-use ranges for the PBP1557 pad family.

Street and Track Use Notice

Choose the compound according to the vehicle’s actual use:

• P2: Daily street driving
• P3: Spirited street, autocross, and occasional track use
• R5: Dedicated track use
• R7: High-friction competition and advanced track use

R5 and R7 pads may produce substantially more noise and brake dust than street compounds. They may also cause increased pad or rotor wear during low-temperature street driving because they are designed to operate at elevated temperatures.

Installation and Bedding

Brake pads are safety-critical components. Installation should be completed by a qualified technician.

During installation:

• Inspect the rear rotors for wear or damage
• Check caliper operation and slide hardware
• Inspect the brake fluid
• Install compatible shims or hardware where required
• Follow Paragon’s bedding procedure for the selected compound
• Confirm proper brake operation before normal driving
