PFC Spec Miata (NA/NB 1.8L) Rear Brake Pads - 97 Compound - 0636.97.13.44
The PFC 0636.97.13.44 rear brake pads are built for serious Spec Miata and Miata NA/NB 1.8 L racers who demand durability, modulation and consistent rear‑end braking under track loads. Featuring the 97 Compound — designed for long‑sessions, repeatability and minimal rotor wear — this pad delivers smooth, controlled performance in endurance or club‑race formats.
- 97 Compound: endurance‑derived friction material with a flat torque curve and refined release behavior
- Rear‑axle fitment for Mazda Miata NA/NB 1.8 L (1994‑2005) / Spec Miata class – direct drop‑in for stock rear calipers/rotors
- Designed for longevity and low rotor wear: minimal disc abrasion and extended service intervals
- Excellent rear modulation: smooth pedal feel and predictable behavior under race loads
- Ideal for club racing, Spec Miata, track‑day and endurance formats (street‑to‑track possible but not primary)
- High‑quality backing plate and racing‑grade friction formulation from Performance Friction
- Helps balance a track‑focused braking system when paired with a front pad upgrade
- Versatile enough for frequent sessions or long‑distance runs, with sustained performance lap after lap

When you’re racing or prepping your Miata NA/NB 1.8 L (including in Spec Miata competition) and the rear brakes need to keep pace with your front setup, the PFC 0636.97.13.44 offers a refined solution. The 97 Compound from Performance Friction is renowned in endurance and club racing for its excellent controllability, very flat torque curve and gentle release characteristics. It deliberately trades off a little initial bite for predictable, stable behavior under high‑session stress.
This pad set is optimised for the rear axle of the Miata NA/NB platform (1994‑2005), and installs as a direct drop‑in for stock rear calipers/rotors — no major modifications required. Because the 97 Compound is low wearing and rotor friendly, it reduces disc re‑machining or surprises between sessions. That makes it ideal for drivers doing repeated track days, club racing stints or endurance formats, where repeatability counts as much as outright bite.
Keep in mind: while these pads excel on track, they may produce more pad dust and some noise compared to a pure street pad. For best results ensure your calipers, rotors and backing hardware are in good condition and the setup is properly bedded. If your goal is consistent rear‑end braking, strong driver feel and low maintenance between events, this pad set is a top‑tier choice for the Spec Miata fleet.
