Upgrade your braking system with PFC Brakes’ 331 Compound front pad set, engineered especially for demanding use on the front axle of ABS‑equipped performance cars. This compound was developed as the next generation endurance material from PFC—delivering a higher initial bite than their previous “08” endurance pad while improving release, modulation, and rotor‑friendly behavior. Typical applications include sprint/medium‑distance track days, endurance stints and club racing, particularly where heavy braking loads, repeat cycles and driver confidence are key.
The 331 Compound excels by giving you smooth, predictable braking feel and strong stopping power without sacrificing rotor life. The friction curve is optimized for ABS systems—meaning better control, less chance of unwanted wheel‑lock at high speeds, and less variation in torque under elevated temperatures. Because wear is minimized and disc conditioning is excellent, your rotors remain in better shape over longer events, reducing downtime and maintenance. Whether you’re chasing lap times, lead‑follow sessions, or event weekends, these pads bring the performance backbone you need.
Installation and proper bedding‑in are recommended to unlock full performance and longevity. If you’re upgrading from a street pad, or moving into a higher‑demand track or endurance setup, the 331 Compound delivers the control, durability and driver feedback you’re looking for.
