Got these used from a fellow racer friend who can't remember what these pads are.

They're for the OEM front Brembo calipers on an Evo 8/9. No markings or numbers on the backing plates at all. Very unusual multiple hole pattern + two (maybe three?) rivets on the backing plates.

Also two holes on either end of the pad material itself.

??? I've not seen anything like them. IMO they're NOT Hawk DTCs, Carbotech XPs, anything from EBC, or Raybestos STs (the ST-43s I've run have full identification info stamped into the backing plate).

Thanks in advance for the help!









Closeups of the pad compound itself... it has a very "fine grain" metallic-y look to it:



Not sure if the reddish-brown color is just rust from the rotor they were last used against, or in the pad compound:

Can't help you with what they are, but I can help you rule out PF01's as that's what I run and they don't have holes like that.

Good luck!

You're right on the imprint from Raybestos. IIRC, Raybesto and Carbotechs backing plate is also gray, not black. I don't remember what Ferrodo looks like, maybe check that

Thanks guys! Yeah, I have no experience with Ferodo... anyone here who has?

Even if someone positively IDs the manufacturer/brand by the backing plate/material holes, I think I'm still playing a guessing game on the compound...

Maybe identify by process of elimination. They are not CL, raybestos, hawk, carbotech.

Other brands i havent used yet, pagid, performance friction.

And based on what Raptord said (which matches another opinion I got on a different forum) they're probably not Performance Friction.

Anyone know if they look like Pagid or Ferodo pads?

As mentioned they are not Hawks (at least not DTC's) nor Carbo XP's. They are also not Ferodo DSUNO's, but may be DS2500's. I had a set a few years ago and for some reason these pics seem familiar.

I also had some Racing Brake ET700's, but they had an orange backing plate.
