EBC FA526 Brake Pads – Hard & Soft Compound – Go Kart
Complete the job — buy it as a kit
Selected option: Soft.
EBC FA526 organic brake pads for go kart applications, commonly fitted to Kart Components (KC) caliper systems. Available in hard and soft compound to suit different fleet requirements and driving applications.
Hard compound is the standard rental choice — built for durability across a full day of back-to-back sessions, delivering consistent, predictable braking without the faster wear rate that comes with softer compounds. If you're running a busy rental fleet and want to minimise pad change frequency without compromising on stopping performance, hard is the one.
Soft compound (FA526S) is the racing option — aggressive, immediate pedal response and strong stopping power for sprint racing, time attack, or arrive-and-drive events where the driving experience is the selling point. The trade-off is faster wear under back-to-back sessions, so it's not the right choice for day-to-day rental use.
EBC part numbers: FA526 (Hard) / FA526S (Soft)
Compound options:
- Hard — durable, consistent, standard rental choice
