DS3-R Carbone Lorraine Front Pads

Set of Front Carbone Lorraine brake pads suitable for the Citroen DS3-R where Brembo 4-Pot calipers are fitted as standard.

Carbone Lorraine Brakes have been developed from experience gained stopping some of the most demanding machines on the planet, such as Dassault Mirage Jetfighters, Airbus Airliners, High-Speed passenger trains, and numerous Military applications as well as being used at the highest level by some of the Worlds fastest teams.

CL Brake pads have minimal bedding in the process which means you can fit, do two or three medium compression stops and you are ready to race. All CL Brake pad compounds offer a superior pedal feel with minimal compound compression, this means minimal losses from your brake pedal to the friction surfaces, giving a more accurate feel right up to "lock up".

We offer several compounds so you can customize the level of power and balance you require, with or without brake servo assistance, the torque curve from all compounds is remarkably flat, and offer high "grip" even from low temperatures.

What pad is right for you?

RC5+:

A highly versatile compound that has a wide range of applications, especially if lower brake dust and squeal are a priority. RC5+ are kinder on discs and still offer fantastic stopping power, and are perfect for use with treaded tires on track days. This compound has the lowest co-efficiency in the range and can be used with other CL Brake pads to find your perfect level of brake balance without the need of fitting a brake bias.

RC6:

An outstanding reference point racing pad, with amazing levels of grip and feel. Designed for full racing use with either high grip race compound treaded tires or full slicks. RC6 has also won many fans within the Rally world as this compound offers high initial bite but retains a feel for gravel sections. If you want to win races or set your fastest times look no further.

RC6E (Endurance)

The most durable compound within the CL range. Originally designed for Endurance racing, but also has many race victories within the Historic racing world, used extensively in high-powered classics such as Jaguar E-types, AC Cobras, FORD GT40s, and Lola T70B's, where brake modifications are prohibited by regulations, and CL's superior power and feel are even more advantageous. RC6E is also ideal for heavier race cars where brakes are under more load, and pad wear is more severe.

RC8 & RC8R:

CL’s highest grip compound that offers one of the highest co-efficient available anywhere. A favorite with Tarmac stage WRC cars, World Touring Car, and NASCAR. The RC8R "finned" backing plate option is available in this compound, allowing full advantage of ducted airflow through the brake system.
