Project Mu

Brakes are the most important safety system on a car, and on track or during fast road driving you quickly feel the difference between good and ordinary pads. Project Mu is a Japanese brake brand that makes brake pads, discs, brake lines and brake fluid for both street cars and motorsport. Here you’ll find parts that give consistent braking and good pedal control.

Japanese brake technology from motorsport

Project Mu comes from Japan and has its background in motorsport, where brakes are pushed hard lap after lap. The name refers to the coefficient of friction, often written with the Greek letter mu, and that says a lot about the brand’s focus: friction, heat resistance and a brake that behaves predictably. The brand is especially popular among owners of Japanese performance cars, but the range also covers a number of European models.

Project Mu’s key products

Brake pads are the core of the range and come in several compounds, from low-dust street pads with good cold bite to track pads that handle very high temperatures. Slotted brake discs help keep the pad surface clean and remove gas and heat. Braided stainless brake lines give a firmer pedal because they do not expand under pressure, and high-boiling-point brake fluid reduces the risk of a soft pedal under hard use. See each product for vehicle fitment.

Frequently asked questions

Which Project Mu pads should I choose?

It depends on your use. For daily driving, a street compound with good bite at low temperatures is the right choice, while track days call for a compound that handles more heat. Check the description on each product for temperature range and recommended use.

Do new brake pads need bedding in?

Yes. New pads and discs should be bedded in with a series of moderate stops so that an even layer of friction material forms on the disc. This gives better braking and less risk of vibration.
