Upgrade your front braking system with the PFC Brakes 01 Compound front brake pads (part number 0731.01.15.44), engineered for the Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997‑05) and C6 (2005‑‑, excluding Z06/ZR1) platforms. This sprint/medium‑distance race compound brings the perfect blend of aggressive initial bite and stable heat resistance — whether you’re doing spirited canyon runs, high‑speed track days or club racing.
Constructed with PFC’s proven FG (Formula Grand) race pad material, the 01 compound maintains consistent friction under elevated temperatures, offering strong stopping power without the fade you'd expect from a purely street‑oriented pad. The pad dimensions are 184 × 15 × 50 mm, and the set weighs approximately 4.8 lbs — making it a precise fit for the front calipers of eligible Corvette models.
In use, you’ll appreciate the direct pedal feel thanks to the race‑tuned backplate and optimized friction curve. The 01 compound addresses one of the key pain‑points for sports car drivers: diminished braking performance as temperatures rise during track sessions. While street‑only pads may fade or soften under load, these PFC pads retain crisp response and stopping power.
What sets the 01 compound apart is its versatility — it performs at race pace but doesn't punish you during daily driving or moderate sessions. The consistent torque curve and excellent modulation give you confidence trail braking into corners or threshold braking on long straights. Whether you’re chasing lap times or just want a pad that won’t quit when pushed, these are built to deliver.
Whether you’re prepping for a club event, upgrading for more aggressive installation, or simply want the assurance of motorsport‑level hardware, these front pads deliver the confidence and control your Corvette deserves.
