F1705 RC-09
$559.00 inc. GST
RC-09 Club Racer is the Project-Mu brake pad of choice for Club Motorsport. Be it for time attack, club sprints, tarmac or gravel rally, this is the brake pad that offers the very best in performance, feel and release, while remaining a budget option. This pad punches above its weight and will push aside many other ‘competition’ pads in performance and durability. RC-09 Club Racer is based on the DNA of Project-Mu’s ultra-successful H16-03 Motorsport pad which is one of the world’s best race pads. The RC-09 is renowned for its initial bite and equality in pedal modulation while being rotor friendly.

Features
Fade Resistance Remove Gases and Dust
Gases and dust generated from pad/disc friction, burn at high temperatures and can be trapped between the two friction surfaces. This has the effect of reducing friction and is commonly referred to as ‘fade’. This is when the same amount of pedal is applied, but friction is reduced. Project-Mu put slots in some of their pads to provide an escape for these materials, resulting in more consistent and safer brake performance.
* Rotor slots can also provide the same solution
Noise Suppression Chamfer Cut
Brake noise can be the result of numerous factors in a car such as wheel bearing conditions, brake dust, corrosion, caliper stiffness, etc. This noise known as brake squeal is a high frequency vibration created by the friction between the pad and rotor. The vibration can manifest in the caliper, rotor or suspension. It can also be the result of badly designed brake pads. Project-Mu engineer a chamfer into the leading and trailing edge of most pads. This allows a less aggressive interaction between the pad and disc, reducing the chances of your brakes ‘squealing’.
Minimal Bedding Heat Treatment
All brake manufactured using resins which bond all of the ‘ingredients’ during the manufacturing process. These resins are not needed once the pads are complete and it is the bedding process which removed them. Project-Mu brake pads are put through a heat treatment process during manufacture and therefore require only minimal bedding to match the pad to your rotor surface.
Backplate Design Brake Pad Structural Stability
The backplate on a Project-Mu brake pad is designed to be stronger than the opposition as this is where a lot of the brake performance can come from. Project-Mu use only the highest grade quality steel at the correct thickness to ensure this stability. If the backplate is rigid and effective at deflecting heat, brake performance is better. Project-Mu increase the plate thickness by 20%compared to OEM pads and apply a ceramic layer to the back to reduce heat transfer to the caliper and therefor the brake fluid.
