The problem with most high-performance brake pads is that they work great when they're good and hot, but their cold friction properties are abysmal—and most drivers don't get their brakes too hot during normal driving. That's where the Pagid brake pad has an advantage. The S-type Pagid brake pad has all the high-performance characteristics you'd expect from a street/track pad, including exceptionally low fade. However, the Pagid brake pad also maintains good rotor grip right from a cold start so you don't have those “gulp” moments before the brakes have warmed up. Aside from their friction properties, most Pagid brake pad applications come with a special anti-corrosion coating that protects the non-contact parts of the Pagid brake pad from being attacked by salt and moisture. Anti-squeal shims are even included in most Pagid brake pad sets so the low noise characteristics of OE pads can be maintained even with a high-performance Pagid brake pad installed.
Note: OEM pads are thicker than Sport Pads in this application (one pad set for the A-Caliper and the S-Caliper)
