Joe,
Thanks for your imput. The initial bite being not as much is the same thing I have heard from everybody that has purchased them...but you are the first to offer a direct comparison.

I know you have driven the PFC11s as well. How is their initial bite compared to the RE10s. I know you said back then that the Ferrodo initial bite was better than the PFCs.
Thanx

I've been using the ds1.11 on the GT3 for a while, and have liked them. But based on the good reviews of the RE10, including the reports of them lasting substantially longer than other pads, I'm going to give them a try on the GT3, and likely the GT4 also.
I used to favor a lot of initial bite, but as my braking technique has improved, I've come to prefer a moderate initial bite, so that I can modulate more precisely.

+1. I feel the same as Manifold. A more aggressive compound, with more initial bite, will stop the car in a shorter distance. But they are likely to result in more chassis/platform unbalance as you get on and off the brake. And it is harder not to overslow the car. As Manifold said, learning to modulate the brake precisely is easier with a less aggressive compound.

The Race Technologies RE10 has absolutely been our favorite pad.
Modulation is incredible.
Lifespan is longer than any other pad we've tested in similar conditions.
It does certainly dust and make a bit of noise, but by no means as loud and aggressive as others.
Very easy on the rotors!
Feel free to get in touch with us on any inquiries! We do carry PFC and Ferodo as well.

Less initial bite also has benefits in terms of better modulation when braking more softly (below threshold).
A further benefit of less initial bite (and better modulation) is being able to stay closer to threshold without activating ABS, resulting in less heat in the brake system.

Let's not forget the RE10 are much kinder to the rotors going by the amount of use Trakcar had been getting from his OEM rotors after running a few sets of RE10 in Europe and USA.
To me this is a big plus as after tires OEM rotors are the biggest running cost on the GT3....

I had 30 days on my ap rotors using ds1.11 before they accidentally were destroyed by running the pad down to the backing plate. The rotors would have lasted 40 days.
I'm currently on 12 days with oem rotors on my gt4. They probably have another 2-3 days left in them

That sounds about right for the GT4 OEM front rotors. Guys here getting roughly 15 days from them on OEM pads. Generally they run thickness limits before they do the big cracks like the GT3. I'm guessing different weight distribution, lower vmax, good front down force and less weight helps them last longer on the GT4
