Paragon Brake Pad Compounds:
P2 Compound
The P2 “Sport Comfort” compound is designed for street use where balance between performance and street friendliness is emphasized. Minimal brake dust and noise due to its non-metallic material. Improved initial bite, modulation (brake control), and temperature range over stock pads. Higher coefficient of friction for increased stopping power. Excellent pad and rotor life. Works as designed from ambient temperature. Ideal for daily driven vehicles with performance in mind.
- Material: Non-metallic
- Effective temperature range: Ambient - 932°F (500°C)
- Average Mu: 0.29 ~ 0.32
- Recommended for street use only
- Comparable to: Hawk HPS, Project Mu B Spec
P3 Compound
The P3 “Road & Track” compound is an all round compound ideal for sport driving, autocross, and light track duty while still maintaining street drivability. Low level of brake dust and noise. Good coefficient of friction, initial bite, and temperature range make this compound capable for track conditions. Best modulation and control characteristics among P series compounds. Great choice for occasional track vehicles without the disadvantages of dedicated track pads. Works as designed from ambient temperature. Great rear pad option for those who prefer a more front biased setup with the R5 compound up front.
- Material: Semi-metallic
- Effective temperature range: Ambient - 1112°F (600°C)
- Average Mu: 0.34 ~ 0.37
- Recommended for street / track use
- Comparable to: Ferodo DS2500, Endless MXRS & MX72, Project Mu HC+, PFC 97, Hawk HP+, Pagid RS4-2
R5 Compound
The R5 “High Friction Track / Competition” compound is designed as a dedicated track compound. High coefficient of friction provides sufficient stopping power for track and competition conditions. Precise modulation and release characteristics. Highly fade resistant with wide temperature range. Flatter torque curve compared to the R7 compound, providing consistent and solid braking performance throughout the effective temperature range which boosts driver’s confidence. Elevated noise and brake dust compared to P2 and P3 compounds. Relatively easy on rotors compared to competitors’ racing pad offerings. Great front pad option for lighter cars, and rear pad option for those who prefer a more front biased setup with the R7 compound up front.
- Material: Metallic
- Effective temperature range: 212°F - 1382°F (100°C - 750°C)
- Average Mu: 0.40 ~ 0.43
- Recommended for track use
- Comparable to: Endless CC38(ME22) & CC-Rg, Project Mu Racing 777, Ferodo DSUNO & DS3000 , Cobalt XR3 & XR4, Pagid RST3, RS44 & RS19, CL RC6
R7 Compound:
The R7 “Maximum Friction Track / Competition” compound is a full race compound with maximum coefficient of friction. With higher stopping power and maximum effective operating temperature, the R7 compound is ideal for advanced high speed track events, competitions, and heavier cars that require maximum braking performance. Good modulation and release characteristics. Excellent pad and rotor life. Higher fade resistance compared to the R5 compound, with solid pedal feel throughout the effective temperature range.
- Material: Metallic
- Effective temperature range: 212°F - 1562°F (100°C - 850°C)
- Average Mu: 0.48 ~ 0.53
- Recommended for track use only
- Comparable to: Endless CC60(N30C), Cobalt XR1 & XR2, Pagid RS29, Ferodo DS3000+
***Track and race pads are not recommended to be used on streets due to elevated brake dust and noise level, possibly higher pad and rotor wear during low speed brake events, and being not able to work 100% as designed at ambient temperature. If these downsides of dedicated track and race pads are not an issue, they can be used on streets absolutely fine.

Customer Reviews
Expected the pads to be somewhat decent but have been nothing but a disappointment.
Purchased the p2 pads both front and rear and they honestly both.... Suck.
The rear in particular have made me lose my mind. So much squeaking, grinding, squealing and chirping with every push of the brake pedal. I purchased the paragon shims to try and eliminate some of the noise but they just don't work. Another draw back is the amount of brake dust is insane. Coated my white wheels within a 15km drive on the highway and the wheels looked black. Another thing I've noticed is the paragon p2 pads don't come with hardware or even a low wear indicator like most pads.
Replaced with akebono pads and all the noise and brake dust have been eliminated. The akebonos even seem to perform on par or better than the paragons with less of a headache.
Definitely do not recommend these pads or Paragon pads in general after using both the fronts and rears in my civic.
