Why Hi-Q

General-purpose pads and shoes made with ceramic friction materials, designed to stop quietly and consistently.

Consistent braking in any conditions

Hi-Q is designed to hold a consistent friction level whether the brakes are cold or hot, across vehicle types and driving styles.

Safer materials

No asbestos or glass fibre, and no lead, cadmium, mercury or chromium, so it's better for you and the environment.

Kinder to your rotors

Low ferrous (iron) content reduces wear and damage to disc rotor surfaces.

Tested against the competition

Sangsin's performance tests compare Hi-Q with equivalent competitor pads (labelled F and S).

Abrasion loss comparison — **Abrasion loss:** lower means longer pad life.

Brake force comparison — **Brake force:** a steady friction level from 200°C to 500°C.
