A friction material includes a base, a deposit including a friction modifier, and a resin disposed throughout the friction material. The base includes aramid fibers present in an amount of from greater than 50 weight percent to 70 weight percent, based on a total weight of the base. The base also includes a filler present in an amount from 30 weight percent to less than 50 weight percent, based on a total weight of the base. The friction material is also free of a material having a thermal degradation temperature of less than 200&#xb0; C. The friction material may have a porosity of from 60% to 85% as determined using ASTM D4404-10 and a median pore size of from 0.5 &#x3bc;m to 50 &#x3bc;m, as determined using ASTM D4404-10.
