Anyone have a handy site/list of various coefficients of friction of various brake pads?

And if there were graphs of those at various temperatures it would be even better.

Default Didn't seen any coefficient of friction data for Pagid there...

...I did see a <a href="http://www.braketechnology.com/techinfo.html#frictiongraph">graph of coefficient of friction against temperature</a>, but there was no scale on the coefficient axis.

Default Ferodo Compounds with charts

The Ferodo DS3000 at 0.60 has the highest coefficient of friction of any compound I've been able to find in a pad that will fit our rear calipers. To allow more flexibiliy with front pads while maintaining bias, I'd like to find a rear pad even higher.

DS2500

Default Found this - cross-brand comparison but no numbers...

Default

are you using the DS3000 as a street pad?

Default Four different sets of Pagid data, and they don't agree particularly well ...

These two tables both look like they originally came from Pagid,

1. From <a href="http://www.ecparts.co.uk/pagid/comp.htm">ecparts.co.uk</a>

2. From <a href="http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/htmlpages/techBRP03.htm">needforspeed.co.uk</a>

And the two charts,

Let me know if you think you can make sense from all this.
