US-based brakes systems firm Power Stop has launched Track Day Brakes, claimed to be both track-tested and platform-specific and fitted with high carbon rotors to ensure better braking stability.
Backed by its research and testing conducted in partnership with Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, the friction compound in the braking system features extreme fade resistance at high temperatures, while displaying low thermal conductivity with a consistency in pedal feel and modulation.
The models tested for developing the brake system at the Bondurant school are 2008 Z06 Corvette, 2015 Stingrays and Camaros.
Power Stop CEO Arvin Scott said: "The track-day market is flooded with countless brake pad options, and subsequently countless brake pad combinations for each vehicle (platform). Power Stop has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right friction for your specific platform to optimize a day at the track."
The company claims that the brake kit is suitable for track day enthusiasts who belt down tracks on weekend.
Initially, the brake kits will be supplied with Corvette, Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang platforms in September, while BMW, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru, and Toyota models are on the company radar for installing the braking system.
Power Stop product manager John Niemiera said, "After logging countless hours behind the wheel on the track in the Z06 with numerous different brake pad and rotor combinations, I am confident that we have found the ideal track day combination for these high horsepower, rear wheel drive muscle car applications.
"We will continue to test new platforms to find out the ideal combination for just about every track day vehicle out there."
