Carbon ceramic street pads that bite from cold and hold their line to 520°C.
Budget pads fade or glaze the moment temperatures climb on a spirited run. The S17 compound keeps friction levels consistent whether the brakes are stone cold or working hard through a mountain road. Anti-squeal shims are included as standard, so there's no chasing noise after fitment.
These are the compounds we stock for the Nissan Silvia / Skyline (standard calipers) whose published friction and operating temperature come closest to Circo S17. They are a starting point for switching brands — not a guarantee of identical feel, because each manufacturer measures friction on their own equipment.
