Project mu club racer part numbers
When I search, it seems there are a couple different part numbers attributed to the frs/brz
PCR09F914 PCR09F914AD -I can't find exactly what is different about these other than they "have characteristics between the 09 and 999." PCR09F916 Can anyone explain the differences between these?

Base brakes /w vented rear disk (most common North American trim): F914 & R916 Base brakes /w solid rear disk (often found in Japan/Asia base trims): F914 & R914 Brembo brakes (both PP and GT in OEM rotor size): F506 & R906 - F506 code supersedes F906, but you will still find listings online for the older shape code. Both are the same shape, common to Evo, STi, Cadillac, and many other Brembo 326mm front systems See: https://www.project-mu.co.jp/en/matching.html |

I think I was getting confused because there are sites that have the F916 listed as FRS/BRZ fitment For example, pulled from the first search I could find, however there are many sites that list them. F916: https://goturbo.net/pmupcr09f916-pro...pads-pcr09f916 Anyone know what is supposed to be different with the advanced? any description I've seen is pretty vauge.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish or find? The CR and CRA are effectively interchangeable. |

Advance is just a more aggressive compound than the Standard "Club Racer" brake pad, option only for the front pads. Based on the description only which states it's supposed to incorporate characteristics of the Project Mu Racing 999 pad, the Advance variant probably has stronger initial bite and higher heat capacity than the Standard compound. You probably trade away pad/disk life and dust to achieve that.
The rear pads are only offered in the Standard compound, but they are designed to be used along with the Advance or Standard front pad. I've used the Advance Front/Standard Rear set personally. Strong bite, lacks some finesse/control, but otherwise a nice starter pad that holds up well to heat and abuse. ------- Project Mu doesn't talk to Club Racers much because it's sold as an overseas product only (e.g. non-Japanese markets like North America). Project Mu focuses more on their Racing line (N1 / 777 / 999 / one-make) for domestic Japanese sales. I have a feeling Nexzter Brake Thailand technically produces Club Racers for Project Mu under license, while the other mainline pads Project Mu produces in their own factories. In my opinion, it's almost not worth it to buy Club Racer pads anymore because of how much price has evolved over time (unless this is your first set of pads/first time tracking). Club Racers used to be almost half the price of Racing 999, but TODAY you can get a set of the higher performing Racing 999 pad for not too much more. You do compromise a little bit if you do that though because Club Racers are a little friendlier to use as a daily pad and is easier to use with a low grip tire. ------- Don't overthink pad shapes. Trust what Project Mu publishes, not what retailers/distributors put on product listings. It's easy to fumble a copy-paste or put down incorrect info. You can see how the two pads differ in shape by looking at them side-by-side. It's clear they are not the same. https://www.project-mu.co.jp/padprice/F916.pdf https://www.project-mu.co.jp/padprice/F914.pdf Stick to what Project Mu states. Use F914 Last edited by EndlessAzure; 12-12-2023 at 12:42 AM. |
