Project Mu B-Force Front Brake Pad Set
For 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno / Levin and 1984–1987 U.S.-Market Corolla Sport AE86
Overview
The Project Mu B-Force Front Brake Pad Set is a street-sport upgrade for the factory front braking system on Toyota AE86 applications. It adds greater thermal capacity and fade resistance than a conventional replacement pad while retaining an operating range that begins at 0°C, making it practical for cars that still spend significant time on the street.
The super graphite metallic compound operates across a 0–500°C (32–932°F) rotor-temperature range with a 0.32–0.45 μ friction coefficient. This performance envelope makes B-Force well suited to spirited street driving, canyon roads, autocross, and occasional light track use.
For the rear-wheel-drive U.S.-market AE86, this front pad application covers both Corolla Sport GT-S and SR5 models. Rear brake configurations differ between the trims, so this shared fitment applies specifically to the front axle.
Key Features
- Performance street front brake pad set for Toyota AE86
- Super graphite metallic friction material
- 0–500°C (32–932°F) applicable rotor-temperature range
- 0.32–0.45 μ friction coefficient
- Effective braking beginning from normal street temperatures
- Increased thermal headroom for repeated hard braking
- Suitable for street, canyon, autocross, and light track use
- Fits factory front brake applications on AE86 GT-S and SR5
- Vehicle-specific front brake pad design
B-Force Street & Sport Compound
B-Force sits between Project Mu's street-focused compounds and its more aggressive HC-series pads. Its 0°C lower operating threshold preserves cold-temperature street usability, while the 500°C upper range gives an enthusiast-driven AE86 additional thermal capacity for repeated braking.
This makes B-Force particularly useful for cars that are driven harder than a normal daily driver but do not require the temperature capability, friction level, or compromises of a dedicated track compound.
Vehicle Fitment

Fitment Notes
- Front axle application only
- Fits factory front brake applications on U.S.-market GT-S and SR5 AE86 models
- SR5 and GT-S rear brake configurations differ; this shared application applies only to the front pads
- Designed for the factory-style AE86 front caliper and brake-pad configuration
- Vehicles equipped with aftermarket calipers or big-brake conversions require the pad shape specified by that brake system

Project Mu AE86 Front Brake Pad Comparison
| Brake Pad | Primary Use | Rotor Temperature | Friction Coefficient | Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TYPE NS | Daily / street | 0–400°C | 0.37–0.40 μ | Street-focused with reduced noise and dust |
| B-Force | Performance street / canyon / autocross / light track | 0–500°C | 0.32–0.45 μ | More thermal headroom while retaining street usability |
| TYPE HC+ | Aggressive street / track day | 0–800°C | 0.43–0.58 μ | Higher friction and broad temperature capability |
| HC M1 | Premium performance street / track day | 50–800°C | 0.41–0.55 μ | Linear control with strong high-temperature stability |
| Club Racer RC09 | Dedicated circuit / competition | 300–800°C | 0.42–0.55 μ | Race-oriented compound for sustained high-temperature braking |
TYPE NS is the street-focused choice for regularly driven AE86s where cold response, reduced dust, and reduced noise are priorities.
B-Force is the next step for a harder-driven street car. Its 0–500°C range adds thermal capacity for canyon driving, autocross, and occasional light track use without requiring elevated brake temperature before working effectively.
TYPE HC+ substantially increases friction capability while retaining a 0°C lower operating threshold, making it a strong aggressive-street and track-day crossover.
HC M1 provides a more refined high-performance character with linear pedal control, high-temperature stability, and a 50–800°C working range.
Club Racer RC09 is the dedicated circuit option. Its 300°C minimum operating temperature makes it substantially less suitable for normal cold street use.
