EBC | SR21 Racing Front Brake Pads | Lotus | Emira | 2022+

EBC Sintered SR pads are in a class of their own. Manufactured at the EBC Brakes facility in the USA, these pads deliver an exceptionally firm bite and extended longevity—all without causing rotor damage. While there have been other sintered pads available in the past, none have matched the performance of these.

Incorporating advanced transfer film technology, the compound virtually eliminates disc wear. As a hard pad in terms of compressibility, it also provides improved pedal feel and responsiveness. Durability tests have shown that these pads last three to five times longer than competing semi-metallic options.

The SR21™ ultra-high friction compound is specifically designed for the front and rear of race cars equipped with bias controls. Consequently, SR is produced exclusively for full race calipers from manufacturers such as AP, Brembo, Alcon, and Wilwood, with a launch scheduled for spring 2022.

SR’s greatest advantages are twofold: it offers more bite and less fade, all while delivering the lowest cost per racing mile of any pad available. Additionally, the brakes achieve near-instant performance once the pads are mated to the rotors, functioning effectively from a cold start up to 925C (Ambient – 1697°F).

There is no need for chemical bedding—simply install the pads and race, as there are no volatile compounds to burn off, marking a first in race brake technology. Dozens of top racing teams used SR in 2021, and every one of them has requested supplies for the 2022 season. If winning races is your objective, you must experience this product.

Installation Tip: For optimal performance, use SR21™ on the front and SR11™ on the rear.
