Paragon PBP819SN-18 brake pads are the caliper-specific pad option for Paragon PA015 / PA035 calipers. Choose the pad shape to match your installed caliper first, then select the compound for street driving, light track use or dedicated competition.

The shape number identifies compatibility; the compound identifies the friction material. A vehicle fitted with an aftermarket big brake kit may require a different pad from its original brake system. 18mm-thick PBP819SN pad specification for PA015 / PA035.
PBP819SN-18 and PBP819SN-25 have different thickness specifications. Match the installed caliper; the two versions are not interchangeable simply because they share the 819SN name.
Choose your brake pad compound
| P2 Sport Comfort | Street / daily driving; Ambient–500°C; Non-metallic |
|---|---|
| P3 Road & Track | Sport driving / light track duty; Ambient–600°C; Semi-metallic |
| R5 Track & Competition | Dedicated track / competition; 100–750°C; Metallic |
| R7 Track & Competition | High-friction track / competition; 100–850°C; Metallic |
P2 favors everyday street use. P3 suits drivers combining road use with occasional light track sessions. R5 and R7 are dedicated track choices: expect more noise and dust, and account for their higher operating-temperature requirement. A higher-friction compound is not automatically the best choice for a daily-driven car.
Installation and bedding
Confirm the caliper and pad shape, inspect rotor condition and have a qualified installer confirm the bedding procedure for the selected pad compound before use. Compound choice should suit the complete front/rear brake setup, tire grip and driving use. Professional installation is recommended.
Product FAQs
Where do PBP819SN-18 pads fit?
Paragon PA015 / PA035 calipers. Required brake system: 18mm-thick PBP819SN pad specification for PA015 / PA035. Verify the pad outline and thickness before ordering.
Which compound should I choose?
Choose P2 for street use, P3 for road and light track use, or R5/R7 for dedicated track and competition use. Consider noise, dust and operating temperature as well as friction.
Will these fit an aftermarket big brake kit?
Only if the installed caliper uses this exact pad specification. A vehicle model match does not establish compatibility with an aftermarket caliper.
Can I substitute the other 819SN thickness?
No. The 18mm specification serves PA015/PA035; the 25mm specification serves PA036. Order the thickness specified for your caliper.
