Good to hear, especially given the recent significant price hike PFC instituted.
Also surprised that you're now calling the DS1.11 low noise since I seem to remember you saying they were a bad option for use on the street especially compared to PFC 11, but if they work better on track and dust level and lifespan are both comparable to PFC or even a bit better, then I may try a set since the cost seems close enough as well.

AP rotors are awesome. I'm betting I could get 40 days out of the front rotors on the gt4...

Noise and dust is not bad at all. Don't notice them any more than stock in terms of dust. Squeaky after city driving, but nothing that will make you embarrassed. Don't have enough events on them to comment on longevity.
I also dont have the patience to try every option out there. These pads are a huge improvement over stock and I love them. Thats good enough for me to stick with them. Joe and some of the other guys have a more scientific method to determining the fine details of all the other options on the market.

I'm liking the DS1.11 - very easy on rotors, excellent modulation, fronts lasted about 8 days on R7s. Rotors have virtually no surface cracking yet.
Another +1 for Apex Performance.

With Pagid, it generally comes down to RS29 & RSL1 for the GT3 & GT4.

has any one tried Pagid RS42's on a GT car , I used to run these on many cars for street and they were great pads, the last 2 times I have been on RS29's though.
and Endless state "ME25 is a substantial step up in initial bite from ME20. The pedal is easy to modulate for a good feeling between the fast response and hard brake power especially at high speed braking!
ME25 is suitable for drivers that likes the ME20 but would like a step up in initial bite.
why would anyone then go me20 ? me25 sound far better !

RS42 would be out of their element on a heavy, fast GT car used on the track. We sell RS42 primarily for Formula cars and occasionally for 914's.

And lastly there's the age-old reason of cost, both the differential of the pads themselves and maybe of extra rotor wear. Endless has another compound called the MA45B that according to some who have tried it is magical, but even when they're available, they're something like $850 per AXLE.

I like more initial bite, esp on a Porker set up where you get a lot of pedal travel so threshold braking is quite easy.
I'll prob go RS29's a safe bet

^ So I'm seeing more options being named, but has it been verified that they fit our GT4/GT3 cars?

Sometimes people use pads on a different car and then enter a discussion like this without first checking on availability or they want others to do the search for them. Other variables, as id'd by jphughan, seems to drop by the wayside when these recommendations/questions are posted.

It's my understanding that the me25s are a full race pad. They need temp to work right, squeal at slow speeds and tear the hell out of rotors. I could be wrong, I didn't try them due to these reasons. It was explained to me that the ME20s are built to be the dual purpose pad with great performance on track.
