Project Mu 02-06 Mitsubishi Lancer TYPE NS Front Brake Pads
Project Mu Type NS front brake pads PSF506 deliver direct bolt-on replacement for 2002-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer TYPE NS models including JDM CT9A chassis plus Evo VIII MR and IX MR. These pads provide sharp initial response from cold for confident braking in daily and spirited driving. The aramid-based NA-1 compound resists fade during repeated stops while keeping dust levels low to maintain clean wheels.
Key Features
- High Initial Bite: Friction coefficient of 0.42-0.50 (average 0.46) ensures immediate response even from 0°.C for shorter stopping distances.
- Low Dust Formula: Minimizes brake dust buildup on wheels for easier maintenance and cleaner appearance after highway or canyon runs.
- Fade Resistance: Performs consistently up to 550°.C ideal for aggressive street use without loss of pedal feel.
- Smooth Pedal Modulation: Progressive braking force allows precise control from light to hard stops.
- Street-Focused Durability: NA-1 compound extends pad life while delivering track-level grip in real-world conditions.
Product Notes
- Follow 300-mile bed-in procedure with light stops to heat cycle pads for peak performance.
- Pair with stock or slotted rotors for best results no resurfacing needed.
- Store in dry area to prevent moisture absorption before installation.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Direct OEM replacement uses existing caliper hardware and shims.
- Apply brake grease to pad ears and backing plates for quiet operation.

Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance. From daily-driver ceramic pads to track-spec metallic compounds, there is a brake pad for every application. Popular ProductsTop brake pad brands include EBC Brakes, Hawk Performance, StopTech, and Akebono. Popular compound choices include ceramic pads for low dust and quiet operation, semi-metallic for improved bite, and full metallic for track use. What brake pad compound should I choose?Ceramic pads are best for street use, offering low dust, quiet operation, and good bite. Semi-metallic pads add more stopping power at the cost of more dust. Full metallic and racing compounds are reserved for track use where extreme heat resistance is needed. How do I know when brake pads need replacement?Most brake pads include a wear indicator that creates a squealing sound when pad thickness reaches the minimum limit. ...
