Hey guys,

Just had the annual brake maintenance performed with a new set of PFC 08 pads and Girodisc rotors. This is for a 997.1 steel brakes car. On the way home, I noticed a clicking noise every time the the brakes were applied after having accelerated. The noise sounds almost like the pads moving ever so slightly back and forth as the rotor rotation pushes it back and then upon braking, the drag pulls it forward.

Have any of you experienced this before? Braking appears to be fine with a hard pedal and good stopping power, even though the brakes are not fully broken in yet.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing to worry about

Mine makes that noise too. I assumed it was because the rotors are 2 piece

Slotted rotors with new pads

Go hammer on them once, it will go away

Thanks for the quick replies! I'll add this to the list of noises that are normal on a properly running GT3

As a side note, I felt a bit nostalgic taking the Pagid RS19s out. I know that there isn't much love for them on this board anymore, but the Yellows served me well for over five years and I still remember the first time I came into the braking zone down the long straight and was blown away with the stopping power. I'm looking forward to seeing what the PFCs can do.

YA and I not sure how long the PFC will reign as I am hearing that the Endless pad is worth checking out too.

Who says Pagid 19's are old news, I still like them (and use them). I know there is a large group of PFC users, but there are still a lot of Pagid users too.

I've used endless, not worth the hype

I've tried a bunch of their compounds

Glad to hear, you just saved me some r and d money and time

What are you running for brake fluid, endless or SRF??

Nick Wong

^^^^ This.

SRF in my car. I'm sure the Endless fluid works fine.

SRF

Endless fluid looks fine, but has a lower wet boiling point than SRF.

Wet boiling is more important for a DE car, since I do not flush on a regular basis

Take a look at Prospeed 683 brake fluid.

I hear the same on my GD with Pagid yellows. FYI the front GD rotors warped on me at 600 miles and no track days on them. No warrantee. Manufacturer offered to turn them. But had it down locally from a shop I trust as time and cost to ship. Have about a thousand street miles on them now with no further issues. This weekend I will be at Sebring. I'm looking forward to how they do.

Let us know how they go! Best of luck....

After a few years using RS29's I switched to PFC08 this season - I find them better in terms of feel and initial bite. Supposed to be longer wearing but we will see. Mine make that clicking sound as well...nothing to worry about (at least after a few days no issues to report).
