We show you the 91´«Ã½ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to 91´«Ã½â€™s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91´«Ã½ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we’re hitting the circuit to look at braking components for dedicated track/race cars – the most demanding form of driving where it’s more vital than ever to rely on strong and enduring stopping power.

Around a decade ago, 91´«Ã½ launched its high performance/motorsport sub-division, 91´«Ã½ Racing – a firm that has become synonymous with range-topping braking at race tracks around the globe.

From road-legal track upgrades to endurance race components, there’s something for every corner of the motorsport spectrum in the 91´«Ã½ Racing range, as we will explore below…

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad – just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties. Road legal in most territories, making it incredibly versatile.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

Bluestuff has been a track day favourite for years and is the spec pad for the BMW 318i Cup series throughout Europe. New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

RP-1â„¢/RP-Xâ„¢ Motorsport Brake Pads

Designed for vehicles driven hard on track, RP-1™ possesses a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 – 750°C (200 – 1400°F). The more progressive response characteristic of RP-1™ makes it well suited for inherently ‘over-servoed’ vehicles where a softer pad material is desirable to allow greater finesse when on the brakes.

RP-X™ possesses a high friction level of 0.55 between 0 – 750°C (Ambient – 1400°F) and achieves a 100% brake effect from cold – an excellent choice for sprint racing or hill climb events, where full brake performance is essential without requiring any ‘warming up’, but also makes RP-X™ well suited to any type of circuit use where a high initial bite and powerful brake response is desirable.

Both RP-series brake pad options are a fantastic choice for track day regulars or out-and-out racers.

Please note: 91´«Ã½â€™s RP-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

SR-11â„¢/ SR-21â„¢ Sintered Endurance Brake Pads

Whilst the competition struggles to make organic and semi-metallic pads last longer and longer to reach the pinnacle of brake pad durability, 91´«Ã½ has taken a fresh new approach with a blend of compressed and heat fused (sintered) metal powdered alloys, to deliver a brake pad that brakes better and lasts longer than just about everything.

The new SR series comes in two blends, SR-11â„¢ the medium friction version and SR-21â„¢ the higher friction options

Although badged an endurance-grade material, these pads are equally at home in any form of closed-circuit racing, short or long duration.

Please note: 91´«Ã½â€™s SR-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

Fully Floating Two-Piece Brake Rotors

Craftsmanship meets fine materials in 91´«Ã½â€™s highest performing rotor to date. Not simply a ‘bolt-up’ two-piece unit like many of 91´«Ã½â€™s competitors offer, they are genuine fully floating units with flat-sided SD square drive buttons, allowing expansion and contraction under the harsh conditions of heavy braking.

Featuring a a black, heat-resistant finish that quickly wears down to the natural iron finish on the disc ring within the first few miles. Any unswept areas remain protected by the black coating, such as the outer edges and inside the pad track, unless burned off due to hard use and high temperatures.

Another major benefit of the 91´«Ã½ fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

Apollo-Series Brake Calipers

UK designed and made strong-yet-lightweight aluminium four- and six-piston brake calipers, which can be purchased within a Big Brake Kit or as separate components for vehicle builders to convert cars where a dedicated Big Brake Kit is not yet made by 91´«Ã½.

Packed with cutting-edge tech such as high-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot type dust seals, lightweight hard-anodised aluminium pistons, staggered piston sizes and fully stainless-steel fittings.

BF307+ Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

91´«Ã½â€™s BF307+ high performance Super DOT 4 brake fluid has been specially formulated to provide outstanding performance for braking systems routinely operated at extreme temperatures, making this fluid ideal for fast street use, track days and racing.

Bedding In

Bedding-in is an important part in getting the most out of your new braking components, especially out on track. Check out our handy road and track bedding-in guide by clicking here.

91´«Ã½ recently attended the 2024 instalment of the Petrolheadonism Live car show – held at Hertfordshire-based Knebworth Park between 14-15 September.

The headline show from the series of popular Petrolheadonism events held throughout each year, Petrolheadonism Live celebrates all things car culture in the shadow of the beautiful Knebworth House.

This year, as well as hosting a trade booth, 91´«Ã½ also sponsored the Creator Stage, where countless household names from the world of automotive YouTube were interviewed across the weekend.

It was great to see an eclectic array of 91´«Ã½-equipped vehicles both on and away from the 91´«Ã½ stand. A highlight of the weekend was the unveiling of Petrolheadonism founder Ciro Ciampi’s ‘Project Bruno’ Fiat 500 build – complete with a custom 91´«Ã½ Racing Apollo big brake kit sitting proudly under its unique wheels. This car is battling it out to win prizes at November’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, so stay tuned for more updates on it.

Ahead of the SEMA Show, you can next catch up with the 91´«Ã½ team at the Classic Motor Show, held at Birmingham’s NEC between 8-10 November.

SPONSORED DRIVER/RIDER UPDATES

– RDS Racing motocross racer, Sean Frayne, recently had his final race competing in the 2024 Fastest40 British Motocross Championship, within the Clubmen MX2 category on his 2023 Kawasaki KX250F motorcycle. We last caught up with Sean as he finished his Hawkstone Park round, standing third overall in the championship. His final race weekend took him to Kent’s Sellindge MX track, where more heroic riding saw him walk away with silver in the overall 2024 standings!

– It’s been another success story of a year so far for the ‘Fiesta Clubracer’ duo, who we last caught up with when they dominated the round at Kent’s Lydden Hill Circuit recently. Their most recent round took them to Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, where the boys brought home more podiums, putting them in very good stead for the overall standings as the series reaches its half-way point.

– The G&S Racing Kawasaki race team have been assisting three riders across BSB’s British Supersport Championship throughout 2024. The most recent round of the season took the outfit to the notoriously fast-paced Thruxton Circuit, where more points were added to the pile, and one rider suffered from a fairly serious crash.

– Dave Barrett has been competing in the 2024 Modified Ford Series, piloting his upgraded Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec within the Class C category. We caught up with Barrett mid-way through the series, and it’s been a successful start so far, with two class victories in as many races!

– 21-year-old Irish pro drifter, Harry Kerr, has had an incredibly successful year in the Pro category of the Irish Drift Championship. We caught up with Kerr after the fourth round where a huge performance meant that he currently sits second place in the championship standings.

– Motorcycle racer Russell Brook, from Brook Built Racing, is currently competing in the 2024 No Limits Racing (NLR) race series on an Aprilia RS660 and Yamaha R6. Another impressive year of racing has seen Brook sit in the top five overall standings – a position he managed to maintain following another successful round at North Wales’ Anglesey Circuit recently (with some spills thrown in for good measure along the way).

– Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds, competes in British Superbike’s National Superstock category on his Yamaha R1. Showing increasing promise as the year goes on, Symonds most recently found himself at Silverstone Circuit for a very special round of the BSB, run on the same weekend as the international MotoGP series.

– 24-year-old Spalding-based motorcycle racer, Morgan Creasey, has been competing in various British Motorcycle and Racing Club (Bemsee/BMCRC) championships this season. Creasey recently took a side-step from the regular NLR action, to take part in the series’ ‘Motul ACU National’ endurance race at the scenic Anglesey Circuit in North Wales. The three-hour race saw setbacks, followed by the mother of all comebacks for the team that Creasey was a part of, seeing the outfit within their class by the end of the action.

– Young kart racer, Marcus Hudson is once again competing in the Super 4 British Championship for another season. With a rollercoaster of a season so far, battling treacherous weather conditions and other pitfalls with some fantastic driving, Hudson was faced with more adversity as the series headed to Wigan’s Three Sisters Circuit recently.

The owner of this iconic Japanese sports car used Bluestuff NDX pads and two-piece floating discs

The owner of this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-300 SST purchased the much-loved car a few months ago now, with the car coming equipped with some unknown plain discs and pads that were asking to be upgraded to match his fast-road driving style.

He soon found himself looking at 91´«Ã½ products, soon snapping up some Bluestuff NDX brake pads and a set of 91´«Ã½ Racing’s two-piece fully-floating discs.

Running this brake setup for a few months, it seems that it was the perfect solution to help him enjoy driving his new rally-bred machine.

Read his thoughts on his own words below…

“Having installed late last year, I carried out some light bed-in/surface mating and no noise was present, and the initial bite straight out of the box seemed very good and a vast improvement over the OE pads that had been fitted previously.

“I carried out 250 miles of mainly B-road driving around the countryside with some dual carriageway and motorway usage also (wet and approx. 4°C). From my initial thoughts, it seemed as though very minimal bed-in was required.

“The cold bite and initial friction level was a vast improvement over my previous experiences with other brands, and on a car like the Evo, this Bluestuff NDX actually seemed to be better suited due to the higher temperature working range, friction level, and initial bite.”

“These pads also sustain a nice amount of modulation and fade resistance with a very progressive friction level during both low and high pressure stops. I was unable to get the pads to fade on the street and I feel that these will continue to work well as a fast street pad.

“Feel: as stated above, the modulation and consistent friction of the pad is confidence inspiring and they provide a very positive pedal feel.

“Noise: as of yet, I have not had any issues with noise or squealing, not from high speed nor low speed crawling.â€

Update

“Bluestuff NDX in the Evo were a great upgrade and I put approximately 2-3000 miles on them, they still felt nice and progressive with a good level of initial bite and no fade. Very little noise was present from the pads on both high and slow speed stops. I had a chance to pull the pads out to inspect and check for wear and the wear on the pads was minimal and they still look like new!

“I fitted these as a premium fast-road/track pad, and I wasn’t disappointed! The performance was great on the road and when being pushed hard, furthermore there is enough cold bite there for them to be useable on the street without the need to warm them up. All in all, I am a big fan of them, and I would personally say a huge improvement over my previous setup.

“I enjoyed my experience with the two-piece floating discs/rotors and Bluestuff NDX so much so, that I have since upgraded to a 91´«Ã½ Racing 6-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kit with Bluestuff NDX pads fitted.â€

Bluestuff NDX Brake Pads

Super-street and track day formula. Beds in fast for street use on premium cars with ZERO noise, squeal or vibration.

Braking on the hot hatch was improved with fully floating two-piece discs, Bluestuff pads and braided lines

The team behind automotive parts giant, , recently had YouTuber Supercar Driver’s Toyota GR Yaris at their HQ for a number of premium high-performance upgrade parts to be fitted to the vehicle.

With Supercar Driver’s brief revolving around improving the driving experience of this already-acclaimed hatchback, Demon Tweeks shod the car in lightweight Bola wheels, as well as bolting on the likes of a freer-flowing Scorpion exhaust system, an Airtec intercooler and Forge Motorsport inlet duct.

With braking performance high up the list of any self-respecting driving enthusiast, the car was finally supplied with 91´«Ã½â€™ Bluestuff brake pads and braided lines, as well as 91´«Ã½ Racing’s fully-floating two-piece discs up front – all helping to match any power gains added from the other modifications, as well as being more than capable for any track work that Supercar Driver may carry out.

Supercar Driver reported an instant noticeable improvement in the braking system, which can be seen in his video below.

Thanks to Demon Tweeks for the images.

High-performance road/track component application list now updated to cater for more popular vehicles

91´«Ã½ Racing’s acclaimed two-piece fully floating discs are now available for many more significant vehicle applications.

The Northampton-based firm has expanded on its range so the high-performance component is now available for the likes of the Audi RSQ3 (8U), various Mercedes AMG models, the Mk3 Renault Megane RS, as well as more of VW-Audi Group’s popular MQB Platform of vehicles.

With many of the vehicles in question designed to be driven sportingly on both road and track, these applications prove to be a valuable addition to the 91´«Ã½ Racing range of products.

Application List

Suitable for the front axles of various vehicles, including:

Product Number SG2FC1877

– Various additional models from the VW-Audi Group MQB Platform, including the VW Golf GTI (Mk8), T-Roc R and Tiguan R

Product Number SG2F011

For a complete list of vehicle applications, .

Key Features

– 91´«Ã½â€™s two-piece fully floating discs are usually a simple bolt-on upgrade that seamlessly replace the original brake discs without significant vehicle modification.

– 91´«Ã½â€™s SG2F fully floating rotor allows the outer cast-iron friction ring to expand freely with temperature, totally eliminating disc warping.

– Discs are grooved to allow the pad to vent, without disc holes becoming epicentres for disc cracking.

– Race-derived G3500-grade high-carbon cast iron is used for the friction rings. This high-quality metallurgy possesses greater crack resistance and an increased ability to conduct and then radiate heat.

– Aluminium bells are machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and then hard anodised for longevity, whereas the stock brake rotors use uncoated cast aluminium bells.

– Cast iron friction rings feature 48 curved vanes and are handed for each side of the vehicle. This significantly improves the brake disc’s ability to radiate heat, increasing brake system endurance and prolonging the onset of brake fade.

– Bobbins are machined from stainless steel which cannot rust, ensuring the disc continues to float freely throughout its entire life cycle on the vehicle, even on road cars.

– Spring clips ensure totally silent operation and eliminate off-brake disc rattle.

– Friction rings can be replaced individually after they have become worn, allowing the aluminium bell and stainless-steel bobbins to be re-used, leading to lower long-term operating costs.

Sam Elliott tested the high-performance products on track with his 535bhp coupe

Track day regular, Sam Elliott, frequently enjoys piloting his modified Yas Marina Blue BMW M4 around his local race tracks. With 535bhp on tap (465bhp at the wheels), height adjustable springs and sticky tyres, the car has proved to be an extremely formidable tool, securing a 52.4-second lap at Brands Hatch’s Indy circuit, and 2:07.1 at Snetterton.

Sam recently upgraded his braking system with 91´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-Xâ„¢ pads (front and rear) and two-piece fully floating discs (front only). The system was complemented with 91´«Ã½’s BF 307+ brake fluid and bradied lines (all-round). His thoughts on these items can be viewed below in his own words.

“Firstly, the packaging is very modern looking, with clear instructions to install. Instructions to unmount the discs from the bells and replace the discs are also included.

“Using the excellent RP-Xâ„¢ pads, there’s absolutely no need to upgrade the brake system further. I’ve done long track sessions of 30 mins (with some cooling laps mixed in) and the brakes do not fade. There’s no warping or vibration and even after at least 500 track miles, the discs aren’t showing any light cracking that I’d expect and have experienced from kits by other manufacturers used on other cars.”

“I’ve run at least 15 sets of race pads on this car with stock discs, as I do lots of track days. Running the stock discs meant the front pads would wear nearly twice as quickly as the rear pads. After fitting the front 91´«Ã½ two-piece discs (while running the stock BMW rear discs), I found the rear pads wore much quicker than the front.

“After seeing a huge improvement in pad life, durability and no vibration from the front 91´«Ã½ two-piece discs, I’ve now decided to fit the 91´«Ã½ two-piece discs to the rear as well. When it comes to replacing the discs, 91´«Ã½ sells the discs alone, with bobbins to fit the existing bells, at a very affordable price that will save costs compared to replacing the stock BMW discs.

“I also weighed the 91´«Ã½ discs to compare them to the stock items, but my scales weren’t sensitive enough to measure any difference. As the stock discs are drilled, this probably means 91´«Ã½ have saved some weight in the bells.

“I very highly recommend these products and there is absolutely no need to upgrade to a much more expensive big brake kit if you’re regularly tracking your M2/M3/M4.â€
