What we’d fit.
These cars are heavy and carry a lot of speed, so they generate real heat. W7 is the top of the WinmaX range and publishes their highest friction.
WinmaX W5
WinmaX’s standard circuit model, and the default club racing and rally choice in the range.

This is TrackTheory’s recommendation for the Brembo OE 4-pot — EVO / WRX STI / GT-R / VF Redline, not manufacturer advice — a starting point based on the published figures below and what we stock, not a survey of what other competitors run. Car weight, driving style and how long your sessions are all move the answer, so tell us yours and we’ll give you a straighter one.
Same shape. Very different pads.
Every compound below bolts into the same Brembo OE 4-pot — EVO / WRX STI / GT-R / VF Redline caliper. What separates them is operating temperature and friction — a sprint pad that needs heat in it will feel wooden on a cold first lap, and a road-biased pad will fade before the end of a long race. Figures are the manufacturers’ own published data.

Figures are the manufacturers’ own published data for each compound. Where a brand doesn’t publish a figure we say so rather than estimate it. From cold is our reading of each manufacturer’s published minimum operating temperature, not a separate rating they publish. Manufacturers test on their own equipment, so friction numbers are best compared within a brand rather than across brands.
