CL Brakes RC8-R 5004W50T20 brake pads for AP Racing brake calipers
The CL Brakes 5004W50T20RC8R brake pads combine the 5004 shape with the RC8-R racing compound. This configuration is particularly well-suited for AP Racing brake calipers compatible with the 5004 shape and provides a high level of friction for braking systems subjected to heavy loads in motorsports.
The RC8-R compound uses a sintered metal friction material with an average coefficient of friction of µ = 0.60. It builds on the material used in the RC8 and adds a specific heat dissipation system integrated into the bracket.
Heat-dissipation grooves reduce the contact patch between the brake pad and the brake caliper and promote heat dissipation. This design is particularly beneficial in properly ventilated braking systems or when controlling the temperature transferred to the brake fluid is a key consideration.
The 5004W50T20 model has a height of approximately 50.3 mm and a thickness of approximately 20.3 mm. It is specifically compatible with AP Racing CP2279 and CP3215 calipers. The caliper’s shape, thickness, and part number must be verified before mounting.
