Why this part
Channel: marketing:Project Mu Racing H16-03 Brake P Draft: Cheaper pads compromise on compound consistency at the temperatures where RD54 calipers actually operate. H16-03 is a purpose-built race material, not a street pad relabelled for track use. For drivers running timed sessions where brake fade is a lap-time problem, the compound does what it says across the full heat cycle.
The compound
Project Mu H16-03.
A carbon-ceramic race compound built for GT, TCR, WRC, historic racing and time attack. Its character is high initial bite with a clean release, which lets you brake hard without locking a wheel, and Project Mu specify it for both front and rear axles. The trade-off is pad life: it wears faster than H20 or H21, so it costs more per race weekend.
