What is a Disc Brake Pad Edge Code, and How Does it Relate to the Pad’s Stopping Power Potential?
he higher a brake pad’s coefficient of friction (expressed by the Greek letter , pronounced “mu”), the more aggressive the pad and the greater its stopping potential (the same amount of pedal force provides more stopping power). In theory ranges from 0 (full lubricity, no friction at all), to 1.0 (solid, no molecules moving). Thirty years ago, street brake pads were lucky
