Big fan of Performance Friction PF01

I use them on a 997 though. Have never tracked the 993.

Have driven on may different pads.

Big fan of Pagid pads, have used Blacks (14) and Yellows (19, 29), Prefer the hight friction of the Blacks though. Always happy with modulation etc. The yellows are much easier on rotors.

I am really liking the Endless offerings, have driven on a Street Track compromise pad (ME20) that was excellent, good modulation, easy on rotors and still liveable on the street. These guys are very underrated.

I have driven on a couple of PFC pads, cannot remember the designation, didn't like the release characteristics as much as the pagids. Had higher initial bite, but seemed pretty hard on rotors.

I agree with the above, love the blacks but I'm really tired changing disks every 2 events of so due to hairline cracking.

I'm ready for something new as good as the blacks and rotor friendly.
I'm I dreaming?

I like the Ferrodo DS2500 which are a good compromise if you need to drive the car to the track. They are relatively rotor friendly, too.

I use Hawk Blues. Cheap agressive and right in the sweet spot of my small budget

RelI recently discovered I had forgotten to swap out the front left inner pad after getting home from the track. Ended up driving all winter with that 1 hawk pad. I literally ruined the rotor in 5k miles.

PFC various compounds for the pcars, especially 01 and 97 for 993 big reds. Hawk blue for the miata.

Pagid Yellow (19) - tried the Blacks but found the initial bite to abrupt so prefer the Yellow -- and they are easier on rotors too.

Ferodo DS2500's on big reds. Great dual purpose street and track...although they can be a bit squeaky on the street.

Currently Pagid RS29 Yellow in the front; Pagid RS14 Black in the rear = more rear bias. Seems to work well, and the Yellows seem to wear very well.

Don't know if they are my favorite as I haven't compared to anything else yet, but I've been happy using Hawk HT10s. After running through 2 sets my front rotors don't look so good though.
