Brake pads generally fall into two types: Street or Race. When choosing a pad, it's important to buy a pad that will best suit the driving you will be doing. These pads are not interchangeable between street and race driving and a true 'dual-purpose' pad is largely a myth.

All of the street pads that we sell are a performance improvement over the stock OEM pads, with low noise and minimal dust also a priority.

Street Pads

Standard OEM Replacement (Textar, Ate, Pagid, etc)

• heavy brake dust
• all-weather, all-season performance
• long life for pads and rotors
• expensive
• typically very good initial bite
• low noise

PBR/Axxis Deluxe

• nearly dust-free
• all-weather, all-season performance
• long life for pads and rotors
• inexpensive
• low noise

PBR/Axxis Metal Master (all-time favorite TMS street pad)

• nearly dust-free
• all-weather, all-season performance
• long life for pads and rotors
• inexpensive
• low noise
• performance improvement over stock OEM pads

Hawk HPS

• all-weather, all-season performance
• long life for pads and rotors
• inexpensive
• low noise

PBR/Axxis Ultimates

• some dust
• all-weather, all-season performance
• requires some heat to work at full potential
• long life for pads and rotors
• inexpensive compared to OEM
• some noise

Hawk Ceramic

• some dust
• all-weather, all-season performance
