S2 race pads - replacement for the awesome PFC08?
Hi All.
S2 race car with standard brakes, 33/5 bias valve, front 3" tube ventilation to backing plates. rear just plastic scoops.
Now that the awesome PFC 08 compound is unavailable at the moment, I've been using pfc11 for the last couple of sprint seasons.
The 08 just feels well balanced in the car, the pedal force is low and well modulatable. Friction levels feel high. Front pad wear is almost negligable.
The 11 takes way more force and feels much less controllable. You have to mash the pedal like the Mu is way down. front pad wear IS OFF THE CHARTS BAD WISE. Seems bias is way too much to the front - possibly the rears are not getting hot enough. Caliper temps higher in the front with the 11. 11 gouges into the rotors. 08 gives the nice "slate" finish.
What is a good pfc08 alternative? the 11 only lasts about 2 weekends in the front. The 08 will near do half a season or more. Of course rear wear is negligable with both compounds.
