Which brake pads should you choose for your sports car?
If you have a sports car, you know that performance is not just measured in horsepower or acceleration. The braking system is one of the pillars of sporty driving, and choosing the right brake pads for your sports car is key to achieving a balance between safety, control, and enjoyment behind the wheel.
Sport driving generates high temperatures, requires a quick response to the pedal, and needs a compound that works well both cold and hot. In this article, we explain the key factors to consider and present recommended options for SDT Brakes pads, manufactured in Spain with a focus on performance and racing.

Frequently asked questions before purchasing
Do sport pads make noise?
Pads with more technical compounds (especially racing) can generate some noise when cold or at low speeds. This is normal and usually disappears when they reach optimal temperature.
Can I install sport pads on a stock car?
Yes, but make sure that the compound doesn’t exceed your usage needs. For daily driving with sporty touches, we recommend S50. For track days, the RS55 is better.
Do they wear discs more?
Pads with a high friction coefficient can increase disc wear. At SDT Brakes, we use balanced compounds to maximize lifespan without sacrificing performance.
Are SDT pads certified?
Yes, our pads have the ECE R90 marking when applicable. Racing models like the RS55 are for specific use and may not be street legal in some countries.
Do they have a warranty?
Yes, we offer a warranty against manufacturing defects and compatibility. You can check our complete policy on the website.
