The PB05 Upgraded Brake Pad Compound

The PB05 brake pad compound is in our opinion the very best brake pad compound on the world market for 4WD trucks and overland vehicles. This ultra-high-performance friction material offers a large step up in performance and fade resistance over the OEM and
other aftermarket pad manufacturers.  Stopping power, pedal feel and modulation are simply unmatched. PB05 brake pads will also give good mileage and have been formulated & tested to work with our D-Line rotors.

Disc Maximum Temperature Recording (MTR) System

Unique to Powerbrake, brake discs feature our MTR system that provide a permanent record of the peak operating temperature reached by the discs. This information is extremely valuable when selecting correct pad compounds for your application. The thermal-paint tabs are applied to the outside diameter of all discs (on both the inboard and outboard disc plates).

Each single-change paint color (4-levels: Blue, Green, Orange and Pink) changes to white when a specific temperature is reached, hereby providing a record of the peak operating temperature of the disc. We also add a multi-change paint that can be used with a provided color gradient chart to further refine the results to a more specific temperature. The simple information required to interpret the results recorded by the MTR system on our 4×4 discs is provided in the instruction manual that accompanies every D-Line brake kit.
