G-LOC Brake Pads, Mazda MX5
(16+ ND, Brembo Equipped)
It may be counter intuitive, but having proper brakes is a key factor to getting faster on track. The ability to brake with confidence and predictability will allow you to brake later and with more control.
G-LOC's proprietary mix of ceramic and metallic construction offer unmatched brake feel, initial bite, modulation and release characteristics. Available in multiple different compounds to match you and your cars needs. G-LOC brake pads are rotor friendly to help keep your "cost per lap" down, and offer performance that many other pads leave to be desired.
G-LOC GS-1™
The G-LOC GS-1™ is our high performance street compound. GS-1™ produces very little dust and very little noise, while maintaining excellent initial bite and torque for street use. GS-1 has been unmatched in the industry for disc/rotor friendliness as well as its longevity. This compound's excellent performance on the street provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. G-Loc™ GS-1™ operating range starts at ambient up to 800°F (426°C). GS-1™ is suitable for ALL street cars, tow vehicle, fleet vehicle, and armored vehicles. G-Loc™ GS-1™ is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
G-LOC R6™
The R6™ has been specifically engineered for Autocross applications. An ultra high cold torque compound delivering consistent performance from dead cold (0°F) up to 1000°F + (0°C to 537°C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. The R6™ compound is widely used for street use as well, but this compound will more than likely make noise on the street. G-Loc™ doesn't recommend street driving on with R6™ due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. R6™ is NOT recommended for road racing (closed circuit) use in most applications.
G-LOC R8™
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1250°F+ (93°C to 676°C+). G-Loc™ R8™ is the first of our extensive lineup of racing compounds. Good initial bite along with excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R8™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.
G-LOC R10™
The R10™ has a much stronger initial bite and higher coefficient of friction than R8™. R10™ still maintains our smooth release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that has been engineered into all previous G-Loc™ compounds. The R10™ compound disc/rotor friendliness will lead the industry. R10™ broad temperature range and fade resistance is in excess of 1475°F (186°F /85°C - 801°C). G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R10™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.
G-LOC R12™
Raising the bar even higher is the R12™ compound with an excellent initial bite, high and consistent torque, and outstanding fade resistance over and above The R12™ continues our excellent release and modulation that has been engineered into all previous G-Loc™ compounds. the R10™. R12™ has a temperature range of 200°F to 1860°F (93°C to 1015°C). The R12™ is slightly more disc/rotor aggressive than R10™ but more disc/rotor friendly compared to our competition. G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R12™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.
G-LOC R14™
The R14™ compound was engineered for endurance racing with lighter weight, lower horsepower cars in mind. R14™ has solid initial bite, a little less modulation than the R10™ or R12™. R14™ has great fade resistance with a temperature range of 210°F to 1400°F (98°C to 760°C). R14™ is as rotor friendly as our R12™ compound. G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R14™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.
G-LOC R16™
R16™ is an extremely aggressive initial bite, linear torque curve and excellent fade resistance compound from our lineup of R-Series compounds. R16™ has a temperature range of 255°F to 2000°F (123°C to 1093°C). G-Loc™ R16™ maintains our philosophy of modulation and release that has been the foundation of all other G-Loc™ R-Series™ compounds. G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R16™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise and the amount of heat needed to work properly.
G-LOC R18™
R18™ is the pinnacle compound of the R-Series compounds engineered by G-Loc™. R18™ is based on the same successful principals and fundamentals that exist in all other G-Loc™ R-Series formulations. R18™ has more initial bite, overall bite, and even more controllable torque. The R18™ offers the absolute most linear torque curve we have ever created. The thermal characteristics and coefficient of friction are of the highest offered by anyone in the braking industry. This revolutionary compound will lead the way in all major forms of racing (professionally and grassroots). R18™ has a temperature range of 610°F to 2100°F+ (321°C to 1149°C+). G-Loc™ does NOT recommended R16™ for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise and the amount of heat needed to work properly.
