===RS 4-2 Blue===
A medium friction racing compound with good cold friction and fading resistance up to 500°C ( 930°F).
* Work well from cold.
* Under very hard use they will fade before the RS14 compound.
* less prone to squeal than RS14's
Purpose (street/track/both): Both
Friction Coefficient: .4-.46 (cold-max)<br>
Material: Carbon<br>
Dust: ?<br>
Pad Wear: Good<br>
Rotor Wear: Good<br>
Noise: Little to none<br>
Max Temp: 500C (940F)<br>

Summary, A good compromise for both Road and Track usage. Can be noisy with some disc combo's.

Fronts are lasting around 10 hard track days (20 hours) rears are lasting 40 track hard days (80 hours).

===RS 14 Black===
This is a medium high friction value ceramic type compound with very good modulation, high fade resistance, low heat conductivity, and a good wear rate up to a temperature of 650°C (1.200°F). 
* If used as a road pad they can eat discs, however when at track temperature the wear ratio will be higher in the pad providing less wear of the disk.
* Not as effective from cold as the RS 4-2 compound.
* Very track orientated pad so whilst safe to use on the road a driver with a road only intention may well be better to look at a different compound.
Purpose(street/track/both): Track 
Coefficient of Friction: .44-.54 (cold-max)<br>
Material: Carbon Ceramic<br>
Dust: ?<br>
Pad Wear: "RS14, while showing a reduction in pad wear, particularly at high temperatures...."<br>
Rotor Wear: Good(on track, otherwise eats rotors)<br>
Noise: Squeal on street<br>
Max Temp: 800C (1472F)<br>

These pads can generate a lot of squeal if not used in anger on a regular basis, so while highly rated for track work, these pads are perhaps too compromised for a road car. Incompatible with a lot of discs so check compatibility before buying.

===RS 15 Grey===
Very high torque compound. It combines a 20% higher friction value than the RS14 with a slightly increased pad wear. Needs finesse to avoid over braking the car. Good release characteristic. Although the RS15 has a very good modulation (controllability) it might have an excessive bite for some applications, as lightweight cars or cars with boosted brakes. Applications: NASCAR, CART, F3, Touring cars, GT cars, WSC, DP, Trans Am and Rally.<br>
