Carbone Lorraine RC5 brake pads for BMW E81-E93 (incl Z4) yellow performance brake calipers, among others. These brake pads are higher quality than the comparable pads from Ferodo and Hawk.

With the type RC 5 + brake pad, Carbone Lorraine has developed a brake pad made for street use whose friction gives a huge improvement over the normal standard brake pad. The friction coefficient of this pad is between the old RC 5 ( µ=40 ) and the RC 6 (µ= 0.5). In addition, these brake pads give almost no dust The RC5+ brake pad is made of sintered material. This unique material is a very effective at both cold first touch as well as at temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius. The compound of this brake pad also gives a firmer pedal pressure.

Note: Carbone Lorraine brake pads are primarily used in racing and rallying. For street use, there is a chance that one may need to use additional springs to be installed.

From a track user coming off the Ferodo DS3000:

The brake pedal is very doseable, slows the car down tremendously. The pads don't get too hot at all. And there is almost no wear.

The friction does build up after already braking a fraction, which took some getting used to.
