CL BRAKES RC6E (SINTERED/ENDURANCE) REAR BRAKE PADS

The best way to describe the wear rates on this compound is ‘ridiculous’. You can hammer them over and over, and they just don’t wear out. In independent dyno testing, the RC6E showed wear rates that were as much as five times lower than some of the currently popular semi-metallic race pads. While having slightly lower bite than the RC6, the RC6E still has more bite than most other race pads on the market. They’re also extremely easy on rotors. They initially appear expensive, but when you factor in how long they will last (along with your rotors), they’re actually a tremendous value.

Because of their high metal content, CL Sintered Pads don’t rely on a pad transfer layer to generate high levels of friction. The only recommended bed-in after install is to do a few moderately hard stops to seat the pads flush with the rotor face. That’s it. When the pads heat to a certain point, they will deposit a layer material on the face of the rotors, just like other pad types. That pad transfer layer is extremely thin however, and contains graphite (a lubricant), which protects the rotors from wear. Because of the abrasive nature of the sintered material when cold, that thin transfer layer will quickly be removed from the rotors during any cold brake applications. The transfer layer of CL pads is essentially self-curing, and only develops when required to protect the rotors.
