On my old 350mm 996gt3 brakes, pfc 08f / 06r. Now running new 380/350mm 997.2gt3 PCCB brakes with pfc 08 front and rear. Once you run pfc you won't go back to that Pagid crap....

Pagid 29's up front and blacks in the rear
I get 2-3 race weekends out of them and modulation is very good.
Running custom ducting for cooling.

Considering trying the PFC next rotor change

Since I run the car on the track and street I use Pagid 19's on the front on Girodiscs and Blacks on the rear on stock discs. Last about 3-4 track weekends but that depends on the track and the action on any given weekend.

May try Powderhound's recommendation as the price of Pagid pads is ridiculous.
