that is the main reason I changed calipers......I am lazy.....now I just remove the top bridge

If I had steel originally, I would have just dealt with it....but I was removing my entire ceramic system so I opted to change the whole thing out

I do not bevel front pads anymore

I have an 07 GT3. My pads and discs were shot. The larger front dics and my wholesale discount made this upgrade a easy decision. I sold my stock calipers to a RL guy with a 996TT.

Nice! But yellow calipers are faster.

Not trying to stir the pot...I have no experience with StopTech and limited with Brembo.
PFC are great calipers and rotors.

But check out the cost of the PADS for their calipers.

The Endless pad that I know of that will make the 12 hours of Sebring comfortably on a Standard Cup car caliper (18.5 mm thick front & rear) without pad change.

Let us guess ... you are with Endless as a non-paying Rennlist non-sponsor.
We'd like to see proof of that, maybe that is why nearly all professional teams there - and Daytona, LeMans, & Sebring use RS29.

Yes, I do race support for Endless in the US. Is it wrong that I post to clear up technical data on our pads? Why don't you ask Manthey Racing and Risi Competizione whos brake pads they use? The information is already out there, you should be able to find it.

You know, I haven't had to do that yet. When I bought the car from K-Pax, they had a lot of spare pads that were part of the deal.

I guess I"ll find out...

I am a de junkie that runs endless me20

I swear by them and used to have ceramic brakes run both with p50 and stock pads.....and took the entire ceramic set up off for stop tech / endless

If you have the privilege to try them you will be hooked

They price just like pagid

Are the Endlesss easier on rotors and do they last longer than Pagid RS29?

From my experience on my car for DE is that RS29 Yellow front and RS14 Black work well and produce less heat to the caliper and last a little longer than the Performance Friction PF97's I used. Although the PF97's had more bite and did not need extensive pad bed in.

I asked this morning when I dropped off my car at the shop and my shop also seems to think the endless last a little better then R29 on their CUP cars.

I should also have a cheaper then OEM solution slotted for the front rotors soon that does not require modifying pads..

Next time I go to a pad killing track (Sebring PBIR) I will try them to get an equal compare.
