The Intima Brakes Story
Since the establishment and introduction of the Intima brand and brake pad range in 2008, Intima has been continually proving to the Australian market that performance and value can truly go hand in hand.
10 years ago, the SS, SR and Type-D compounds became available in a select number of vehicle applications providing an affordable high performing alternative to brake pads available off the shelf from your auto store and international brake pad manufacturers.
The SS compound continues to be the remarkable performance street pad with near zero brake dust, minimal noise and strong stopping power with a price tag of less than $100 for majority of applications.
Aimed at the customer who has a sporty driving style and deserves better performance than off the shelf or OEM products, the SS has and always will continue to surprise with its impressive characteristics.
Intima’s best selling SR compound has only seen one change over the years which was purely cosmetic – a colour change from purple to silver in early 2018, it is still the same favourite formula that all car enthusiasts choose for their performance cars.
The SR rewards the spirited driver who demands high levels of stopping power, controllability and anti-fade without all the noise and dust – these desirable qualities also make the SR suitable for the casual track work.
Ticking all the right boxes makes the SR an exceptional all round performer, it’s no wonder it is the pad of choice when it comes to unlocking and enhancing the performance of your pride and joy.
When it comes to track performance, it took several years of development and product offerings to finally get it right.
The Intima RR compound released in 2023 is a true track compound and a worthy competitor to other big name track pads.
With everything you need from a dependable track compound – strong initial bite, powerful stopping power, high fade and heat resistance and low pad wear, the RR is built for maximum track attack.
Stopping some of the quickest cars winning reputable events, the RR is here to stay and is the pad of choice for many track customers and time attack competitors.
