EBC Sintered SR pads truly stand in a class of their own. Manufactured at the EBC Brakes facility in the USA, SR pads deliver an exceptionally hard bite and extended longevity without causing rotor damage. Although other sintered pads have been available in the past, none have matched the performance of these.
Utilizing advanced transfer film technology in the compound’s design, disc wear is virtually eliminated. The inherently "hard" nature of the pad enhances pedal feel, providing more responsive braking. In fact, wear tests have demonstrated that these pads last three to five times longer than competing semi-metallic options.
The SR11™ medium friction compound is specifically engineered for the front end of street-based vehicles with high ABS intervention, or for both front and rear on race cars equipped with bias controls. As a result, SR is produced only for a select range of ultra-fast street vehicle systems or for full race calipers from manufacturers such as AP, Brembo, Alcon, and Wilwood, with a launch scheduled for spring 2022.
The primary benefits of SR are twofold: it offers a more aggressive bite with reduced fade, and it provides the lowest cost per racing mile of any pad available. Additionally, the pads deliver almost instantaneous braking performance once mated to the rotors, effective from a cold start up to 900°C (Ambient – 1650°F).
There is no need for chemical bedding with SR pads—simply install them and race, as there are no volatile compounds to burn off, marking a first in race brake technology. Numerous top racing teams used SR in 2021 and have all requested supplies for the 2022 season. If winning races is your goal, EBC Sintered SR pads are a must-try.
Installation Tip: For optimal performance, use SR21™ on the front and SR11™ on the rear.
