Pagid RS29 Yellow brake pads are formulated for iron discs and are an upgrade for G8X M2/M3/M4, F10 5 Series, F06/F13 6 Series, F97 X3M, F98 X4M. The RS pads offer a much-higher friction coefficient and substantially better stopping power than standard BMW pads.
Not for cars with CCB (carbon ceramic brakes). This was an option on the M car models, and these pads are made for the standard/traditional Iron Brakes only.
The RSL29 compound is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and composite aramid fibers. This compound is known as very user-friendly with smooth modulation and release amid a low-medium friction level. The RS29 has slightly higher friction coefficient and initial bite than the RS19 Yellow pads. It has been very popular in club racing, enduro, and track days in GT and touring cars.
Pagid RSL29 Characteristics
+ medium friction level
+ very good fade resistance
+ stable temperature range with slight drop-off as temperatures exceed 550°C
+ excellent wear and easy on rotors
+ moderate initial bite with excellent modulation
Front and rear brake compounds should be closely matched to maintain brake balance. Never upgrade one axle and not the other.
