Are you guys running PFC08 both front and rear? I was told the PFC08 front and PFC06 rear is a good combo.

One other question as I was also contemplating the Endless ME20 pads. Has anyone tried those? I was told the ME20s were a great track pad and were not very noisy for day to day driving. How is the noise on the PFC08 when on the street? Any opinions would be appreciated.

I wish my RS didn't come with a brand new pair of RS29's ....I really want to give these a try. Before the PFC08 option came out, I was planning on running the Raybestos ST43 compound, which I have found also virtually impossible to fade. The modulation characteristics seem ideal on the 08 though, which is my only complaint about the ST43...it didn't have crazy bite like the PFC01, but was still a tad bit too much to really trail brake and modulate as precisely as I'd like.

I have Endless pads front and rear. Definitely a good bite and they don't fade, and they appear to be holding up pretty well.

Same noise as stock pads on the street.

Four weeks of no track.......nights of nothing to do....Santa came early

Decided to stock up on PFC for next year.....thanks to Apex Performance

Trakcar and Izzone have some stock for 2012.....yes RA1's and PFC

We might give this PFC fluid a shot, anyone tried it?

When you play at Sebring....brake pads are used up like bubble gum

Its best to buy all 2012 brake pads and call it a day

Once you go PFC08......you will never go back to pagid

18mm thick PFC08

When we left for manication we both scrapped old pads and ran these. Last weekend I threw out all my non PFC08 half worn pads.

Izzone, you should use Pro Speed 683 brake fluid. It is really awesome and great for the brake seals.

Personally I've never had good luck with PFC pads but I've never been able to use the new PFC08's because they don't make them for my car. I have tried out the PFC01 and 97 and while they have great bite they transfer WAY too much heat to the caliper and my rotors developed cracks and grooves in 3 DE sessions. I was talking to a Grand Am race team and they told me the same thing about PFC...way to much heat transfer and PFC is known to eat rotors.

So for me I've had better luck with Pagid RS29 Yellows for the front and RS14 Black in the rear to balance brake bias. The Pagids don;t seems to transfer heat like PFC does and it takes me 2 DE days to notice cracks.

Run pagid and throw the pad away at 50% material because the brakes are mushy

I got 30 or so days out of the last set of front rotors......good enough
