The PFC direct drive rotors are now on the car with PFC-01 pads at all corners.
The rotor construction is first rate and everything fit perfectly.
The rear PFC-01 pads have beveled edges and the front PFC-01 pads have a smaller contact area at the rotor surface in comparison to a Pagid RS-29.
*Since the Pagid pad is taller, it will not work properly with the PFC DD rotor. The inner edge of the Pagid will be too close to the PFC hat hardware.*
Pic #1 shows the PFC-01 (top) and the Pagid RS-29 (bottom).
Pic #2 shows the PFC-01 lying on top of the Pagid RS-29 showing the inner edge difference between the two pads.
Pic #3: Note how the inner edge of the PFC-01 sits right next to the hat.
Pic #4: Let's party.

I'm looking forward to this setup.
Plus, I think I just reduced my relative risk of chronic pulmonary disease by 50% since I don't have to clean out the vent holes up front anymore!
Anyone else hold their breath when cleaning out the rotor vents?

Interesting info.... I am running the 3 piece cup rotor's, how do they compare to these? I was running the 3 piece cup on rear and regular gt3 cup on front, front start spider cracking but rear looks brand new, thoughts on comparing the 3 piece cups to these?

Right now I am running the 3 piece cup rotors on rear, and cup fronts, drilled with RS29 pads. Fantastic setup but my fronts after last season and VIR just a few weeks ago, probably don't have much time left.
PFC I see if real good from what everyone says. How does it compare with their OWN pad and rotor combo to a pagid yellow and cup rotor? Should I just get the 3 piece cup front's and call it a day?
Opinions are always welcome and appreciated!

Can anyone give me any insight on what I am trying to find out?

I have run through multiple sets of cup rotors (one piece) up front and OEM rotors in the rear with RS29s at all 4 corners.
I recently ran the PFC DD rotors (front) and OEM rotors (rear) hard at VIR with PFC-01 pads all the way around.
Here are my quick impressions:
1. RS29s feel gritty... the PFC-01s feel really smooth during application.
2. Overall stopping force seemed about equal... with maybe a slight edge to the RS29 setup.
3. PFC-01s required very little break in. With the Pagids, break in was quite a procedure.
4. Modulation under braking was better and smoother with the PFC-01s.
5. Both pads exhibit good release IMHO.
6. Zero fade with either setup.
I got sick and tired of the CRACKING in the cup rotors... I didn't switch due to performance issues. The cracking and constant cleaning of the vent holes is what drove me away from the cup setup.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

I saw so many people at the track with the PFC rotors, not sure what pads they were using, and I read a few times you cant use the Pagid's with PFC correct?
BTW how did you effictively clean out the grit from the drilled holes in the rotor?
Thanks, Martin.

Another question about the PFC + 01 pads:
- How are they on the street or even more demanding - autox?
I drive my GT3 on the street, autox and track and am thinking about these when my Cup rotors die.
