Frequently Asked Questions — Barbaro Brake Pads
What makes Barbaro brake pads different from other brands?
Barbaro brake pads are developed and validated through real-world motorsport competition. Our racing team competes in endurance races across Asia, and every compound we sell is the same technology we race. This race-to-road approach means you get brake pads proven at 200 km/h, not just in a laboratory.
Are Barbaro brake pads certified?
Yes. All Barbaro brake pads carry CCC (China Compulsory Certification), meeting strict national safety and quality standards. Our manufacturing facility, Zhuhai Glory Group (est. 1986), operates under rigorous quality management systems.
What’s the difference between Performance Pads and Street Pads?
Performance Pads (SP series) are designed for track days, spirited driving, and racing. They use aggressive friction compounds rated for 700°C+ and deliver maximum stopping power under extreme conditions.
Street Pads (ST series) are optimized for daily driving comfort — low noise, minimal dust, long pad life, and consistent performance across all weather conditions. They use advanced ceramic formulations.

Do you offer wholesale / distributor pricing?
Absolutely. We actively seek distribution partners worldwide. We offer competitive wholesale pricing, marketing materials, technical support, and co-branding opportunities. Contact our sales team for details.
How long do Barbaro brake pads last?
Under normal driving conditions, our Street Pads typically last 40,000-60,000 miles (65,000-100,000 km). Performance Pads, being more aggressive compounds, have shorter street life but excel in high-temperature track environments. Actual life depends on driving style, vehicle weight, and conditions.
Do I need to bed in new brake pads?
Yes — proper bedding-in is essential for optimal performance. We include bedding instructions with every order. Read our detailed brake pad bedding guide for step-by-step instructions.
What is your return policy?
Unused brake pads in original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Used pads cannot be returned for safety reasons. Contact us to initiate a return.
