I do like my PFC 08's and PFC 11's and they sure are expensive!

I ended up buying the DTC60's for cost, availability and familiarity.

I am still thinking of trying the PFC's before the year is out but since I will likely be switching up the braking system over the winter and the stuff that will be going on the car before Lime Rock will likely get me through the season... who knows.

I am super excited to get back on track on Tuesday - I took the car out on my test loop today and damn does it feel good...

Thanks Paul - I am PUMPED. Weather is perfect, oil is FULL, took almost 12QTS and I'm running advanced so should deal with a lot less traffic.

Bringing my laptop to the track so I can pull and review some data between sessions... I'll be saving the good stuff for you though, I'll be looking for ways to go FASTER !

PFC is my choice also. Nice to be able to have some control over brake balance by using 11s in the rear. The 08s wear really well and still have outstanding stopping power. modulation isn't quite as good as pagids, but you can also run the 08s to the backing plate.

Thanks QC - I’m going to give them a run to start next year on new brake setup I think.

BTW - does anyone want a set of HP+ ? About half life left in them, I was keeping as spares but have another set of DTCs due in today and the ones currently on the car will shift to spares.

First to say they want them and willing to cover shipping takes em.

Keep on going, please video an post I have watched all of your stuff. How much do they charge for a track day?? Last time I did was In 2013 so I’m completely out of touch with that. I did spent $21 on two gallons of 104 today to add to mine, level was reading a 1/4 so kind of sort 50 percent mix.

track days r between 200-400. Run time, # of sessions, availability of instructors and quality if event will all very with price.

BBS E88 18x9+50 F, 18x11+67 R
ECS 10MM Front Spacer
Nitto NT01 245 F 305 R
