Mercedes-Benz SLK280 Racing Brake Pads

Hawk Performance Blue 9012 Race Pads

Mercedes-Benz SLK280 Racing brake pads are designed to handle the extreme heat a braking system will see during a track session. Some cars can see up to 1600 degrees on a race track! A normal street pad would disintegrate under this extreme heat, which is why Race specific pads have been built. However, most race specific brake pads wont operate in the cooler heat range that replacement brake pads operate in. Heat must be maintained for the brakes to perform. That's why we recommend street/performance brake pads for cars that are daily driven as well as raced.

When it comes to selecting a Mercedes-Benz SLK280 racing brake pad, you will want to figure out what type of racing you are participating in and what heat range you are getting into. Some brakes will only perform well once they have reached a certain temperature, selecting the right pad for your race car can be crucial to finishing the race without damaging your rotors or pads.
