STREET PAD – Ceramic Compound

Houston Speed Freaks Street Performance

Built for drivers who want exceptional daily drivability without sacrificing stopping power.

 Friction Coefficient: 0.38 (F) – 0.43 (G)

 Notes: T-Caliper setups are strictly available in this Street ceramic formulation.

RACE / TRACK PAD – Semi-Metallic Compound

Houston Speed Freaks Track Performance

Engineered for aggressive driving and track days. Matched with our SA6 caliper, this compound delivers an immediate, razor-sharp pedal feel with relentless bite.

 Material: Heavy-Duty Semi-Metallic Composite

 Characteristics: Supreme stopping force and maximum thermal stability

 Operating Temp: 0°C – 700°C
