TTSPORT M-05 Track Racing Brake Pads

The TTSPORT M-05 is a track-focused friction compound built for sprint races, time attack, and aggressive HPDE sessions where high initial bite, stable torque, and confident modulation matter more than street comfort.

Built for the Circuit, Not the Commute

M-05 is positioned in the TTSPORT M Series as an aggressive race compound. It targets drivers who push the car hard on track, demand a firm pedal late in a session, and accept the dust, noise, and wear tradeoffs that come with a true competition pad.

• High initial bite for late braking and confident turn-in
• Stable friction across repeated high-speed stops
• Strong fade resistance into the upper temperature range
• Predictable release and modulation at threshold

M-05 Specifications

Specs reflect the M-05 listing in the TTSPORT MT Series comparison. Performance varies with rotor condition, caliper design, vehicle weight, tire grip, brake cooling, and driving style.

This product page describes brake pads only. Calipers, brake rotors, brake hoses, brake fluid, brackets, rotor hats, and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified on the final order.

Street vs. Track Expectations

Bedding Procedure

1. Install on clean, true rotors. New rotors or fully cleaned used rotors are strongly recommended.
2. Perform 6–8 moderate stops from approximately 60 mph to 20 mph with light cooling between stops.
3. Perform 3–5 harder stops from approximately 80 mph to 20 mph without coming to a complete stop.
4. Drive a cool-down lap or several minutes of light driving without dragging the brakes.
5. Avoid holding the car stationary on hot pads, because this can imprint pad material onto the rotor face.

Rotor Compatibility

• Works with quality cast-iron OE-style and performance rotors.
• Pairs well with suitable slotted cast-iron performance rotors and two-piece floating cast-iron rotor designs.
• Drilled or drilled-and-slotted rotors should only be used if the rotor manufacturer approves them for track pad temperatures.
• Do not mix M-05 with an old transfer layer from a very different compound. Clean, resurface, or replace rotors when switching pads.
• Replace rotors that are cracked, deeply grooved, heavily glazed, heat-damaged, or outside minimum thickness.

Realistic Expectations

• Street: Usable for the drive to the track, but not optimized for cold stops, low dust, low noise, or commuting comfort.
• Track / Sprint: Strongest in high-speed braking zones, repeated heavy stops, and short-to-medium race sessions.
• Time Attack: High bite and stable torque help drivers attack braking zones with confidence once the pad is hot.
• HPDE: Suitable for aggressive advanced drivers who can manage warm-up, cool-down, and pad inspection discipline.

Installation Notes

• Confirm pad shape and caliper compatibility before ordering.
• Inspect rotor condition before installation.
• Clean pad abutment areas and confirm free pad movement in the caliper.
• Inspect caliper pistons, seals, dust boots, guide hardware, and brake lines before hard use.
• Use fresh high-temperature brake fluid for track and race use.
• After bedding, inspect pad contact, rotor surface condition, and hardware security before hard driving.

Need Help Choosing?

If you split time between street and track, a less aggressive MT-series compound may be a better daily fit. M-05 is for drivers who prioritize track bite, torque stability, and fade resistance over quiet operation and low dust.
