S8023T05001 - Pagid RST 5 Brake Pads; Front

As part of Pagid’s sprint-focused RST family, the Pagid RST 5 is a compound designed to deliver explosive bite, instant response, and absolute fade resistance in sprint, rally, and circuit conditions. It takes everything learned from decades of motorsport experience and channels it into one of the most aggressive and confidence-inspiring brake materials in the range. From the first press of the pedal, the RST 5 reacts with exceptionally high initial friction, giving you immediate, powerful deceleration. The compound’s precise modulation characteristics allow you to trail-brake with confidence, keeping the car perfectly balanced through corner entry. Despite its intensity, RST 5 maintains a predictable torque curve, offering a smooth transition between initial bite and full braking force, ideal for drivers who need both precision and control. Despite its aggressive nature, the RST 5 remains disc-friendly, balancing raw stopping power with manageable wear rates. This makes it a favorite among teams looking for a high-performance front-axle pad that won’t punish rotors through repeated heat cycles. Although this compound has been superseded in most applications, the RST 5 remains a strong choice for drivers high initial friction, smooth torque curve, and reliable performance under sprint and rally conditions. If your pad shape is no longer available, we recommend the RST 5E pads as a suitable alternative.
