So you guys prefer PF97's over RS29 Yellow's? I have used both...PF97's and now on RS29 Yellows.

I have a lot of cracking with the blacks. This is the second set of OEM discs that are cracked around the drilled holes with the Pagid Blacks. All in less than 6 track days and a full width of pads...

Mike - I think there is an enormous difference in our cars, both in weight, power, and the brakes themselves so I can't comment...

Gary, very true. I have tried both and just wanted to hear others comments.

I found the PF97's to have more inital bite over the RS29 Yellows. But I got a lot of heat transfer to the Caliper with the PF97's and they turned my red calipers a dark maroon color. The RS29 Yellows have never done this.

I used Hawk Blue (HT-10) look at my fronts, grooved as all hell. Plus the Sh*tty Zimmerman rotors rust in the center and the cross drills cracked!!

I just ordered OEM Rotors today and I'm in the air on the pads this go round.

OEM rotors, not frozen, drilled, slotted

PFC97's

best setup I've had to date. I've tried every combo possible of cryo, slotted, drilled, oem, powerslot and on and on

You guys buy the "non-Zimmerman" OEM rotors from a dealer?

Gary,
"would be better on a flat surface, no?" I don't think so. With the groves, you actually have more surface area.

[QUOTE=007DT;5597670]I used Hawk Blue (HT-10) .....................QUOTE]

The Hawk Blue compound track pads are 9012s...Hawk refers to them as Blue 9012. The HT-10s are a higher heat range Hawk pad, and are actually black when new.

I find the HT-10s last longer and are more rotor friendly than the Blue 9012s.
