Whether you’re looking for the best street stopping performance, or need a pad that willwithstand the rigors of track use,Damond Motorsports you covered with G-LOC Brakes brake pads for the Mazdaspeed3.

G-LOC Brakes was created by racers with the sole intention of providing the highest level of performance friction materials and truly outstanding customer service in the market. G-LOC supplies high performance brake pads for daily drivers, occasional track day enthusiasts, HPDE regulars, autocrossers, club racers, professional racers, armored vehicles, law enforcement vehicles, emergency vehicles, and even heavy duty military vehicles.

The broad range of G-LOC friction material formulations will provide the highest performance over all operating conditions. Their unsurpassed modulation/control with a very smooth release is what gives you total control of maximizing your braking ability.

Only G-LOC uses proprietary Carbon, Ceramic, Kevlar, and Metallic compound formulations.They do not load up our compounds with carbon and iron like most oftheir competitors like to do, which is extremely harsh on your discs/rotors. G-LOC compound formulations are some of the most disc/rotor friendly compounds offered in the world. Each G-LOC compound is the result of an extensive and rigorous R&D process that givescustomers peace of mind knowing that they can rely on the consistency and high performance nature of every one of their compounds.

Pad Compounds available:

G-LOC GS-1

The G-LOC GS-1 is our high performance street compound. GS-1 produces very little dust and very little noise, while maintaining excellent initial bite and torque for street use. GS-1 has been unmatched in the industry for disc/rotor friendliness as well as its longevity. This compounds excellent performance on the street provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. G-LOC GS-1 operating range starts at ambient up to 800F (426C). GS-1 is suitable for ALL street cars, tow vehicle, fleet vehicle, and armored vehicles. G-LOC GS-1 is NOT recommended for ANY track use.

G-LOC R6

The R6 has been specifically engineered for Autocross applications. An ultra high cold torque compound delivering consistent performance from dead cold (0F) up to 1000F + (0C to 537C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. The R6 compound is widely used for street use as well, but this compound will more than likely make noise on the street. G-LOC doesnt recommend street driving on with R6 due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. R6 is NOT recommended for road racing (closed circuit) use in most applications.

G-LOC R8:

A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 74F-1250F+ (23C to 676C+). G-LOC R8 is the first of our extensive lineup of racing compounds. Good initial bite along with excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. G-LOC does NOT recommended R8 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise. G-LOC R8 is a popular compound for open wheel type of race cars. R8 is also used on most Formula SAE team cars, along with shifter karts, dirt bikes, ATVs, and even Mountain bikes.

G-LOC R10:

The R10 has a much stronger initial bite and higher coefficient of friction than the R8. The R10 compound still maintains our smooth release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that have been engineered into all previous G-LOC compounds. The R10 compound leads the industry in disc/rotor friendliness . The R10 has a broad temperature range that begins at118F and a fade resistance is in excess of 1475F (47C 801C). G-LOC does NOT recommended R10 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.

G-LOC R12:

Raising the bar even higher is the R12 compound with an excellent initial bite, high and consistent torque, and outstanding fade resistance over and above the R10. R12 has a temperature range of 173F to 1860F (78C to 1015C). The G-LOC R12 continues our excellent release and modulation that has been engineered into all previous G-LOC compounds. The R12 is slightly more disc/rotor aggressive than R10 but more disc/rotor friendly compared to our competition. G-LOC does NOT recommended R12 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.

G-LOC R14:

The R14 compound was engineered for endurance racing with lighter weight, lower horsepower cars in mind. R14 has solid initial bite, a little less modulation than the R10 or R12. R14 has great fade resistance with a temperature range of 210F to 1400F (98C to 760C). R14 is as rotor friendly as our R12 compound. G-LOC does NOT recommended R14 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise.

G-LOC R16:

The R16 is an extremely aggressive initial bite, linear torque curve and excellent fade resistance compound from our lineup of R-Series compounds. The R16 is a natural progression of the highly successful R-Series line of compounds from G-LOC. R16 has a temperature range of 255F to 2000F (123C to 1093C). G-LOC R16 maintains our philosophy of modulation and release that has been the foundation of all other G-LOC R-Series compounds. G-LOC does NOT recommended R16 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise and the amount of heat needed to work properly.

G-LOC R18:

The R18 is the pinnacle compound of the R-Series compounds engineered by G-LOC. R18 is based on the same successful principals and fundamentals that exist in all other G-LOC R-Series formulations. R18 has more initial bite, overall bite, and even more controllable torque. The R18 offers the absolute most linear torque curve we have ever created. The thermal characteristics and coefficient of friction are of the highest offered by anyone in the braking industry . This revolutionary compound will lead the way in all major forms of racing (professionally and grassroots). R18 has a temperature range of 610F to 2100F+ (321C to 1149C+). G-LOC does NOT recommended R18 for daily use on the street due to elevated levels of dust and noise and the amount of heat needed to work properly.
