Carbone Lorraine brake pads are made from Sintered Metal. This brake pad material offers superior braking quality in all areas: durability, power, feeling, and efficiency in wet weather. The RC6 compound brake pad does not contain any organic compounds so does not melt or compress when under pressure and high temperatures. This gives a stiffer pedal and better brake modulation.

The Carbone Lorraine RC6 Brake pad compound is designed for all race car applications. The RC6 Brake pad compound has an average friction coefficient of μ=0.5 and are very effective from cold, giving excellent initial bite yet will still not deteriorate in braking over 1000 °C.

The Carbone Lorraine RC6 Endurance is a new high performance brake pad that offers similar grip to the RC6 brake pad (friction coefficient of μ=0.46). The RC6 Endurance brake pads offer an unmatched low wear rate which can offer a large advantage in 6 - 24hr endurance racing.
