For those who will find numbers helpful we were running 13 CW and I got down to 2:04s always with a passengers.
Kevin: Would the PFC 97's be suitable for street use? I am using Pagid Yellow 29's now, and they get quite squeaky on the street unless you give them a good high speed stop now and then.

How much lighter were the pf rotors? (i should just search...).
They save 4 lbs at each corner.

I have found the 97s do make a touch more noise compared to the factory pad. My factory pads have not been quiet on the street.

I am using the 97s on the street and I find their braking to be fine. My street driving is not spirited since I save that for the track. Also I live in a moderate temperature (65-80) climate year round. They may be dustier but I don't have enough street driving to determine that yet.
