RS-T Series:

Track and Autocross Use.

Mountune RS-T High Performance Brake Pads have been developed to offer outstanding performance for not only severe road use but extended track applications as well. Engineered to our specifications exclusively by Hawk, the RS-T pad has been optimized with an extremely high coefficeint of friction that is fade resistant under repetitive heavy braking. The broad temperature range of this pad means that it can be used in a wide range of applications including high powered street cars looking for dramatically increased stopping power. These pads feature a smooth and consistent feel and bite and remain functional under the most extreme conditions.

This pad compound is an ideal upgrade for use in Autocross, Solo II and track day applications.
While this pad can be used for street driven vehicles, there is an increase in noise, dust, and rotor wear.

• Excellent performance for Track and Autocross
• Perfect fit
• Minimal fade under extreme temperatures
• Extremely high friction

Are yall saying it's an awesome price? Because it is.

 

[CanadianGuy]

Nice and price is not that bad, compared to other options. Definitely will be ear marking these for the future.

 

[Pete]

To think I just changed my brakes. Oh well at least next time I can upgrade the rears to the Rs-R

 

[Hijinx]

I had the Brembo package on my 2.0T Genesis Cpe. About $300 with shipping.

 

[me32]

So is the RS pads street friendly?

 

[rexdriver85]

Maybe these RS-R pads are what some of us have been waiting for. OEM level performance without all the dust.

I would really like to try these but my original pads are still 80%.

Can't wait to hear some feedback.

 

[CanadianGuy]

So is the RS pads street friendly?

Yep that is exactly their target application.

 

[hot_hatch]

Yeah I guess I don't know how much OEM pads are but it just seems like a lot.

 

[praecurvo]

Are they swappable with each other concerning the rotors?

 

[airjor13]

Hmm, they are made by Hawk...I wonder if its the same compound as the Hawk Street 5.0

 

[Hijinx]

Yeah I guess I don't know how much OEM pads are but it just seems like a lot.

These are upgrades. Not OEM. Go out and look at OEM upgrade pads for any car and you'll see that these are cheaper and/or inline with all the prices.

Are they swappable with each other concerning the rotors?

For best performance you'll want to have your rotors turned when using a new pad material.

 

[hot_hatch]

I know they're upgrades, I just meant I don't how the price compares to OEM.

I saw this pop up on my FB feed (following mountune LLC). Depending on how hey actually perform, the track-oriented pads could be a option vs. CarboTech pads. I'm running XP8s that are pretty comparable in price at the MSRP level, although the mountune front bits are a little less (with discount), while the rears are very close.

 

[me32]

Yep that is exactly their target application.

Thank you for the info. When my stock ones wear out this might be a good option for me and new rotors

I ordered these a few days ago...the RS-Rs front and rear. I should have them this week to try out.

Awesome, can't wait to hear. If they are comparable to OEM with less dust as advertised I may just get them and save my 5000 mile pads as a just in case.
