LMP102 ST is street compound....

you'd need SF or SR or SFP race compounds which they dont make for that pad.... check page 220

Thanks.😏

towards the end there are drawings / dimensions of all the pads

try to see if you find one with race compound big enough to machine out of it your round diameter

even if the round shape is a bit truncated by some mm, it could still work.

thats what i do to put modern compounds in my old brembos

Back at the time i checked with vintagebrakes.com and he had nothing for the stock honda flag calipers other than Ferodo platinum compound. Works ok-ish for a few laps, then its downhill...

Yossef, yes I’m looking into doing that very thing.  I won’t be able to get 45mm tall pads to work with, but sacrificing about 5mm of the lower half moon shouldn’t be much of an issue.  Brembo SC pads are still your preferred modern pad compound with SS rotors right?

SC are defined by brembo as track day/race with very constant response.

Have tried the SC ones and was happy with the result, so didnt venture into trying the hard core racing RC or Z03, Z04 compounds that even brembo declares to work well only with very hot discs. Was doubting if my older bikes could get discs hot enough like a modern superbike does slowing down from 200 mph.

At over 120$ for two sets, testing different compounds is not exactly a cheap hobby either
