MX72 compound is the one that we Europeans are fitting.

I've been a PF guy for years, but I'm going to try Endless this year. First outing will be in a month - 3 days on tracks in Portugal wearing slicks.

N35S is good choice for trackdays or shorter races. For endurance racing MA45B and its about 2x more expensive.

We are picking up Endless via the new North American importer.
Let me know what compounds you are interested in.

I was going to try MA45B, but they did not come in on time and the PFC 08 impressed me so much I could not see the Endless being worth that much more..

You need to try them with the endless fluid. The bite is amazing

Just tried PFC 08 today w srf fluids. Compared to OEM pads, these pads are Amazing. Pressure is great, initial bite is great, and it keeps gripping the rotors as you squeeze.... I love it!

Anyone know longevity of oem steel rotors? Replacement cost of oem fronts are not cheap compared to PFC slotted rotors. I see a lot of people save their oem sets and use PFC rotors.. Suggestions? I only do about 8-12 events per year.

OG Racing FTW. Called Mark what seems like yesterday (Wed) late afternoon and discussed PFC pad options. Answered all of my questions, shipped same day, pads got here today even though I was in no hurry to get them, and some free goodies to boot. Big thumbs up, great customer service.

Signed: New OG racing customer.

Mark is a good guy. Done business with him in the past and met him at Sebring once.

Still partial to Clark at Apex. Mainly because his pricing is competitive, has tons of stock, and shows up at a ton of the events we go to. I like to do business with someone that supports the events.

Im looking for something that has more bite than Pagid yellows, and less squeak... does that exist? The squeak is killing me. I might do 2 events a year, so this is really for DD. Does PFC make something that will work for me?

any help would be great!

Here is the secret brake physics calculation used by all companies

amount of bite = the volume of the squeak

You can drive Pagid Yellows or PFC08's on the street but the both squeal badly and emit more brake dust than stock. I found the PFC08 brake dust to be especially hard to get off my street wheels from a trip from Tampa to Barber Motorsports Park.

Also stock pads work better cold...like for your street driving...and race pads like Pagid Yellows and PFC08's work best hot...like on the track.

Thanks for the responses. So stock is the way go? Car came with the yellows on, and the dealer quoted me 1800 to go back to stock... thats crazy!

not trying to hijack the thread, but i do need some new brake pads!
