Listen to Izzone and Trakcar...they did all the official pad and rotor testing for GT3DE Cup.

matter of personal preference. 08 front and 01 rear, or both 08.

As we can't play with the brake bias in a street car, I personally like 08F / 01R. be aware that they are more aggressive.

All 08, but if you see how much longer the rear pads and rotors last I can see 01 working better. I love 08 all around enough to not experiment.

Are the 08's/01's streetable or too noisy/aggressive for street driven cars? Love the Pagids but damn loud on street.

Those are serious track pads. Will squeal like a school bus on the street with no heat in them.

Any feedback on PFC-06 compound? Some pad shapes are only available in 01 and 06 compounds, not 08 (the extremely long lasting PFC).

For me, the 06 and 08 feel very similar. Almost like the 08 is a longer lasting 06. The 01 is obviously most hard core of the bunch but hard on rotors and wear quickly. I ran the 06F/01R combo and loved it.

I ran 01 for 1 track day....no thanks! They transfer way to much heat and they grooved my rotors and cracks started way too soon.

Mike, then you didn't have adequate cooling.

Yeah but even cars with all the brake cooling get much more wear on the rotors.

Partly my rotors and calipers are smaller than your GT3...but I have GT2 front ducts and rear cooling ducts....I don't have too much of a cooling issue with Pagid Yellow/Black combo.

I'm getting PFC08's next week and will try them out. I had same pad heat issue with PFC97 too...just like 01 they transferred too much heat and ate the rotors.
