Are these brake pads suitable for daily driving?

The RP-X compound is specifically designed for track and race use, handling extreme temperatures. While they can be used on the street, they are optimized for performance driving and may produce more noise or dust than standard street pads.

What is the Nucap NRS system?

The Nucap NRS system is a hook-and-retention system used to securely bond the friction material to the pad backing plate. This ensures the pad material stays attached even under extreme braking forces.

Do these brake pads come with new hardware?

This product listing is for the brake pads only. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult with a professional to determine if new hardware, such as shims or clips, is required for installation.
