Longest lasting steel pads are Race Technologies RE10.

Or ceramics ST rotors with Pagids for longer rotor and pad wear.

Thanks. Who is the current source for RE10s? How are they on rotor wear? How do they compare to other popular pads in terms of performance?

Did you mean ON ceramics? Or did you mean ST rotors as repelacement rotors (instead of OEM stock?) with Pagid pads (RS 29 or other?). Please clarify...

I've been happy with the RE10 with respect to performance and durability. The less frequent the pad changes, the better.

Thanks. Can you compare them to the Ferrodo DS 1.11? Who sells the RE10?

Clark at Apexperformance.net is your man.

I used RE10s on my GTB1 and liked them a lot. I've gone DS1.11 on my .2 GT3. When the fronts/rears go, I'll go with RE10s.

Feel is about the same, but RE10 last a good bit longer. Like others, I get them from Clark at Apex Performance.

Thanks to all; looks like RE10 so far.

I assume you have been using them both front and rear?

Yup. Of course, rears last much longer than fronts.

Had RE10 on my GT4 (same brakes) and best pad I’ve ever tried (quiet, very long lasting, and make the rotors last so long too - and great braking...)

This is why I revived this thread! Good to know so many positive responses from one pad; makes the decision much easier. Sending Clark a PM...

Shameless plug for the two sets of RE10 rear pads I have listed. Never installed. Also have AP Racing J-Hook replacement discs. New in box.

No need to replace hoses. Fluid Castrol SRF, Motul RBF660, Endless, etc.

I used RE10's but they are difficult to find here in Europe. Now I'm on Ferodo DS1.11.

I like them Ferodos too and they last long, at least for me. Remember though that I mostly drive the Ring which is nice to brakes.

Follow up on RE10s first track day at Road America. I thought the bite was maybe slightly less in the beginning but easy to adjust to. They felt strong all day without fade, and minimal wear which was much better than the stock pads. I’m really impressed that they have never been noisy before bedding, after bedding, at the track, or street driving since. I used the same stock rotors that had been used for 2 sets of stock pads and there are no problems with judder, etc. The stock pads actually squeaked a lot. Happy so far.
