PBS
PBS Brakes — short for Performance Brake Solutions — is a British manufacturer of high-performance brake pads, discs, and brake fluid developed specifically for race and track-day use. PBS has become one of the most popular choices among UK track-day drivers seeking a genuine performance upgrade at an accessible price.
Their pad range is led by two compounds: ProTrack, a milder-bite pad suited to fast road and occasional track use with strong wet performance, and ProRace, a competition compound offering higher initial bite and stopping power for circuit racing. PBS High Carbon discs complete the range, and the brand supports numerous MSA-sanctioned championships.

Description
The PBS Pro Race compound is built for drivers who demand serious braking performance without sacrificing control and consistency. Developed by racers for racers, this ceramic-graphite compound has become a favorite across track days, sprint racing, and club-level motorsport thanks to its powerful initial bite, confidence-inspiring pedal feel, and remarkable durability under heat.
Designed to operate across an impressive 0–800 °C temperature range, the Pro Race maintains stable friction and fade-resistant braking even during long, demanding sessions. Its friction coefficient of approximately 0.36–0.58μ delivers strong stopping power with a progressive and predictable torque curve, allowing drivers to brake later while maintaining precise control through corner entry.
What truly sets the Pro Race apart is its versatility. While engineered primarily for motorsport use, it remains surprisingly manageable for fast road and track-day applications. The compound delivers excellent modulation and pedal consistency from cold through to peak operating temperatures, making it suitable for everything from lightweight track builds to heavier GT-style cars. Enthusiasts regularly praise its combination of strong bite, low fade, and excellent value.
Thanks to PBS’s advanced manufacturing and NUCAP NRS bonding technology, the Pro Race also offers impressive pad longevity and rotor friendliness compared to many aggressive race compounds. Drivers benefit from consistent performance lap after lap, with reduced risk of pad separation under extreme thermal stress.
Whether you’re attacking sprint races, pushing hard during track days, or building a reliable club-racing setup, the PBS Pro Race delivers the braking confidence, consistency, and outright stopping power serious enthusiasts demand.
