• Friction compound: Blue 9012

• Manufacturer part number: HB470E.643
• Pad shape reference: D1009
• Low to intermediate torque
• Low to mid operating temperature range
• Sold as one axle set

Blue 9012 is a race compound that reaches working temperature quickly instead of demanding a long warm-up, which suits autocross, sprint sessions, and lighter cars that do not generate extreme rotor heat. Torque is moderate and predictable rather than aggressive, so the pedal stays easy to modulate. It is a competition pad and does not behave like a street compound when cold.

Bed the pads in per the manufacturer's instructions before hard use. It is worth checking rotor surface condition and remaining rotor thickness at the same time, since fresh friction works best against a clean, true surface, and worn or heavily grooved rotors will shorten the life of a new set.
