Why this part
Project Mu NS-C Street Brake Pad Budget pads on a rotary car are a false economy — the RX-8's weight balance and braking characteristics reward a compound that's been properly engineered for street use. Project Mu's NS-C delivers predictable modulation and stable friction across a wide temperature range, which matters whether you're commuting or pushing hard on a twisty road. The price gap between this and a generic pad closes fast when you factor in rotor wear and pad longevity.
The compound
Project Mu NS-C.
A non-steel street compound built around low dust and low noise. Project Mu aim it at drivers who want a cleaner wheel and a quieter car without giving up normal cold braking — it works from 0°C and tops out at 400°C.
Operating range0–400°C
Friction µ0.34–0.38
