Why PBS Brakes Are Winning Over Track Day Drivers

PBS pads are developed for motorsport first — not adapted from street compounds and given a fancy sticker. The friction materials are designed to work hard at high temperatures, where normal pads glaze, smear, and give up on life.

The difference you’ll actually feel:

  • Strong initial bite without snatchiness

  • Stability deep into the braking zone

  • Real fade resistance, not brochure fade resistance

  • Consistent pedal feel all session long

  • Minimal rotor abuse despite the performance

It’s braking you can trust — even when the discs are glowing.


Proven Where It Matters: On Track

This isn’t just marketing noise. PBS pads are:

  • Used widely in UK club motorsport

  • A favourite in lightweight performance cars 

  • Tested in sprints, endurance, and damp conditions

  • Reliable even when drivers forget that brakes are not a renewable resource

When your lap times are dropping, you don’t want your brakes dropping out.


Price Without the Punch in the Face

Some track pads have that premium motorsport tax — like paying extra for the logo and the mystique. We aim at “proper performance without requiring a second mortgage.”

Designed for the Track Day Reality

Track days are messy:

  • Weather swings

  • Mixed-grip surfaces

  • Traffic

  • Then the drive home afterwards

That’s why PBS hits a performance sweet spot:

“Aggressive enough for a hard session, civilised enough to drive home.”

They’re serious pads, not plug-and-pray.


Who Should You Switch to PBS?

If any of these sound familiar… join the club:

☑ You’ve outgrown stock brakes
☑ You want confidence when late-braking into a fast right-hander
☑ You track your car more than twice a year
☑ You’re sick of pads going soft faster than a dropped ice cream

Then yes — PBS is aimed squarely at you.


The Verdict

Street-branded pads are like entry-level gym memberships — fine if you barely use them. If you’re here for actual progress, PBS Brakes deliver the performance leap every track enthusiast eventually needs.

Once you feel true high-temperature braking, there’s no going back.

Track days demand respect.
Your brakes should earn it.
