Troubleshooting
Brake pedal feels spongy during track sessions
Check brake fluid for signs of boiling and bleed the system to remove any air trapped in the lines.
Uneven pad wear
Check for seized or sticking caliper pistons and ensure the pad shims and mounting hardware are properly lubricated.
Excessive noise or vibration
Verify that the pads are properly bedded-in and inspect rotors for excessive scoring or deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pads (MPN: FRP3148R) are specialized components meant for high-performance braking systems. Before installation, ensure your brake rotors are compatible with aggressive race compounds. During installation, verify that the pad thickness is within the operating specifications for your specific brake caliper. Because these are competition pads, avoid using them on public roads, as they may not meet the safety requirements or cold-bite efficiency standards required for street driving. After a race weekend, inspect your pads for uneven wear and check that your brake fluid has been bled properly to prevent air bubbles, which can be exacerbated by the high temperatures these pads generate.
