Pagid great for 2 days, Ok for another 2 days, the next day car won't stop. Bedding is a pain in the as s.
PFC 08 no bedding required same brakes 1mm material or full 14mm. Last at least 8 days, likely 10. For less money.

If you have not switched yet you are wasting your money.

I agree. Thanks guys for turning me onto them. I ran a day at autobahn and 2 days at birmingham and they are awesome. Rock solid pedal, minimal bedding.

Got them at Apex, they were great to deal with.

I'm running PFC01, decent pads. I have slotted discs so they last...

I wanted to try 08, but they didn't have it in stock. I will give them a try next time. Couldn't make it to the track last weekend due to a friend being hospitalized.

Oh well, I have to wait for the PBOC event

I will switch when they make PFC08 for my car.

As far as bedding in the Pagids...I used to go out just south of me a few miles and drive this 3 miles long straight country road to bed in. Yep pain in the azz....now I just drive the pads on the car to the track and bed in during warm up at the track...after a few 5-7/10ths laps the pads are bedded in no probablem.

Sin, how can you stand those PFC01's...in 5 laps...yes 5 laps at Sebring the 01's grooved and cracked my rotors and statered to turn my new red calipers brown...01's suck!

I tired the 08's. Def better than the pagid yellows. Better feel, longer life. I have the 06's in now. Can't tell the diff w regards to feel. We'll see how long they last. My guess is 08 is the better combo of wear and feel.

My calipers are already gray and my discs are slotted so they don't crack so easy.

I definitely will try the 08's next time!

Continuing my pattern of being an Outlier, I run Cobalt Friction XR2 on the 6GT3. Last forever, don't crack $90 cayenne rotors and cost $$$ not like Pagid or PFC $$$$

Better to be a leader or the view never changes.

Wonder which compound of Cobalt I should try?
