Are you looking for rear pads for BMW or Toyota GR Supra?

If you own a vehicle like the BMW G20, BMW G21, BMW Z4 G29, or Toyota Supra DB, you probably already know that the rear axle is no less important than the front. In fact, having high-performance rear pads is essential for achieving optimal, balanced, and safe handling. In this guide, we explain which exact references are compatible, why the S50 compound is ideal for rear pads, how they differ from the original equipment, and what you should consider when installing and ensuring them.

Exact compatibility: references and vehicles

For a brake upgrade to be effective, the first step is to ensure compatibility. At SDT Brakes, you have the specific reference that covers the following vehicles, among others:

BMW G20, G21, G42, Z4 G29

Our rear S50 sets cover vehicles such as the BMW Series 3 (G20 / G21), Series 2 (G42), and Z4 (G29) with the appropriate measurements and thickness. SDT Brakes Europe

These references allow for easy installation without modifying the caliper or adapters, as they are based on OE dimensions.

Toyota Supra DB

Compatibility for the recent generation Toyota Supra (with chassis DB) is also included. The S50 rear sets offer the same direct installation capabilities, making the upgrade straightforward. SDT Brakes Europe

With this coverage, you can approach an effective replacement knowing that you are using an option specifically developed for these brake architectures.

Technical characteristics of S50 brake pads

The compound used in the S50 pads from SDT Brakes has been formulated to provide high performance, progressive response, and acceptable comfort for road use. Here are its main specifications:

  • Friction coefficient (μ): 0.44 µ for nominal friction.
  • Operating temperature range: from 0 °C to approximately 550 °C. Ideal for intensive sports and urban use.
  • Organic “High Performance” compound: free of copper and nickel, meets N Leaf Mark level.
  • Design for rear axle: the rear reference includes radial chamfer, noise dampening plates installed, and wear sensor in many units.

Thanks to these features, the S50 pads are perfectly suited for the mixed use that many BMW or Supra drivers engage in: daily driving + active weekend driving.

Differences compared to OEM

Changing the original pads for high-performance ones requires a clear understanding of the comparison values. Here are the main benefits compared to the original equipment:

  • Better bite: the S50 offers a higher friction coefficient from cold, which reduces braking distances and improves pedal feel.

  • Greater thermal consistency: the range up to ~550 °C prevents loss of effectiveness (fading) in demanding situations that the OEM typically does not cover.

  • Reduction of dust and disc wear: although designed for performance, the S50 material is gentler on the disc than other “pure racing” compounds.

  • Compatible comfort: does not severely compromise comfort during urban use, unlike radical compounds that only perform on the track.

If you are looking to make a real step up in rear braking efficiency without losing daily usability in your BMW G20 or Toyota Supra, this type of improvement offers great value.

Installation and warranty

Before installing your new rear pads, keep these key details in mind:

  • Make sure that the wear sensor and original clips are present or replaced by those included in the S50 kit.

  • Initial bedding: perform about 100-150 km of gentle use, avoiding maximum braking, for the compound to settle correctly.

  • Warranty: SDT Brakes offers a warranty against manufacturing defects and complies with ECE R90 certification for many references, which helps ensure quality.

  • Keep a record of the installation and verify that the disc thickness is within the manufacturer's limits before installing.

These best practices ensure that you get the maximum performance and durability from the set.

In summary

If you own a BMW G20, G21, G42, Z4 G29, or Toyota Supra DB and are looking for an effective upgrade to the rear axle, consider installing the S50 rear pads from SDT Brakes. Compatible, technically advanced, and designed for performance, they allow you to elevate your braking without sacrificing daily usability.
