TTSPORT M-01 Semi-Metallic Street Performance Brake Pads

The TTSPORT M-01 is a semi-metallic street performance brake pad built for daily drivers, commuters, and spirited weekend driving. It targets strong cold bite, a predictable pedal, controlled noise, and rotor-friendly wear — the things that actually matter on the street.

Where M-01 Fits

M-01 sits between an OE replacement pad and a track-focused compound. If a basic pad feels soft or vague when you need it most, but a race pad would be too noisy, dusty, and cold-dead on the morning commute, M-01 is the upgrade lane. It is tuned to feel sharp from the first stop, then stay linear through repeated street braking — on-ramps, canyon runs, downhill grades, and stop-and-go traffic.

• Daily drivers and commuter vehicles
• Family SUVs and crossovers
• Spirited street and back-road driving
• Loaded daily use and light towing only

Compound Character

M-01 Quick Specs

Dust color and quantity vary with driving style, rotor finish, climate, and wheel cleaning frequency. Expect normal semi-metallic dust under aggressive street use.

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

Bedding Procedure

Proper bed-in transfers an even layer of friction material to the rotor. Skipping this step is one of the most common causes of vibration, squeal, or uneven pedal feel on a fresh pad.

1. Find a safe, low-traffic road. Make 6–8 moderate stops from approximately 35 mph down to 5 mph. Do not come to a full stop.
2. Make 2–3 firmer stops from approximately 50 mph down to 10 mph. The pedal should stay firm; light brake smell is normal.
3. Drive several minutes at light throttle without dragging the brakes to let the system cool.
4. Avoid holding the pedal at a stoplight while the pads and rotors are hot.

Rotor Compatibility

• Works with OE-style cast-iron rotors in good condition.
• Works with TTSPORT slotted / drilled street rotors when the rotor is true, clean, and above minimum thickness.
• Do not install on cracked, deeply grooved, heavily glazed, warped, contaminated, or below-minimum-thickness rotors.
• Do not mix with an old transfer layer from a very different compound; clean, resurface, or replace rotors when needed.
• Not intended for carbon-ceramic rotors unless TTSPORT confirms compatibility for that exact rotor and caliper setup.

Realistic Street Expectations

• Confident first-stop bite in cold morning conditions
• Stable pedal during repeated downhill or canyon braking
• Controlled noise under normal daily use
• Moderate semi-metallic dust, especially after aggressive driving
• Not a replacement for a dedicated track pad in HPDE, time attack, or competition

Installation Notes

• Confirm pad shape, backing plate style, thickness, 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, dust boots, guide pins, slide pins, and brake lines during pad replacement.
• Use clean hardware and torque all brake components according to the vehicle or caliper manufacturer's specification.
• Perform the bedding procedure before aggressive street driving.

Need Help Choosing?

Not sure if M-01 is the right compound for your vehicle and driving style? M-01 is the right direction for daily driving, commuting, and spirited street use. Step up to a higher-temperature TTSPORT compound for HPDE, competition, repeated high-speed braking, or heavy vehicle load.
