The bullet point is...?

This combo of rotor and pad is looking like 16 track days with one flip and no fade? How many track days on a rotor before it dies?

I know it is asking a lot but I would love to know the weight of the pad/rotor/hat combo for this set up. Anyone willing to share that would earn hero status with me forever

Thanks guys!

20.4 lbs each (rotor/hat)

Do you really want me to go in the garage and weigh pads....LOL. I want hero status.......3 lbs 8 oz per front side set of pads. This is for the 19mm thick pads

Havn't killed a rotor yet, they are at 11 days / 1247 miles so far.

I have a set of PFC08 on order for when the RS29 wear out. Curious to see how they compare.

Same here, I have 15 track days on the front rotors, too early to tell, I am hoping for 30-40 days.

What is the price for a front rotor? And what is the US price for a OEM Porsche steel rotor? (so I can compare, can't find EU prices for those parts).

Could you give me the part numbers so I can check a supplier?

Thanks

So its ok to run the PFC08 with the factory steel rotors??

I noticed the pedal is mushy with the pagid, compared to the factory PCCB. It actually made me question if I had a brake problem after my conversion from PCCB to factory steel rotors and paged R29 so I re-bled and found no air in lines. Running SRF brake fluid.

Oh I miss those days on the track with PCCB but I am not going to miss the potential cost of PCCB replacement.

Thanks for the help and the feedback guys on the brakes.

Sure it is OK; I think it is maybe overkill, but PFC was adement we start with new (Any?? PFC??) rotors with new PFC pads. It does make a difference, when I started on new PFC rotors and new PFC08 pads they where crazy grabby the first 4-5 sessions, when I changed the pads after 10! days, the new pads felt identical to the old ones after 1 lap. Never any mushyness like I always had after 4 track days with pagid R29.

I went to PBIR on Monday and it was easy to make the Pagids fade there, even SRF cook, but no problem with PFC. Pedal height is also way more even.

I did add front brake cooling, so that might be a factor as well, but I think it is 90% pads not so much rotor or cooling.
