I'm about to order some new PFC pads for my 944 track car. It has 993tt Big Reds on the front. PFC makes 06 and 01 compounds, and offers them in 20 and 22 mm thickness for the 06 pads and 18 and 25mm thickness for the 01 pads. I will be using 97 pads for the rear (no other option). I know some of you guys have gone to the 06 pads, I'm just not sure the thicker pads (25mm) would even fit in the caliper

On my 964 with big reds, I used 97 rears, 01 fronts and was very happy with it overall. As far as thickness, I don't know what to tell you, I never checked. Good luck.

I looked up on PFC's PDF charts the 18mm front thickness is the only one they cross-reference to the 993tt. I guess 01 is the only option

01's bite more, a little more agressive on the rotors but they should be fine. As a matter a fact with the new found hp you'll need more aggressive. The 97's in back will work fine as well.
The 01's will go thru rotors faster but still should last you 2 years with how much you drive and the multiple cars.

We can discuss more later.

well they're on the way inbound. I just gotta milk a few sessions out of the last 1/3 of my Pagid Oranges tomorrow

You will be happy with the 01s. The 18mm thickness is the correct one for your application.

I'll ride with you tomorrow and help you squeeze the last drops of milk out.

We have other compounds for the rear ( 7725.01 and 7725.83 which are the same as the 0345.01 and 0345.83 but without the cutout for the wear sensor). For those that haven't been around PFC pads very long, the 83 compound is the "Throw out 2 anchors" compound that PFC really built their NASCAR reputation on more than 20 years ago. It's fallen out of favor since the newer compounds have come out, but we still have some available in a few part numbers. Very aggressive on rotors, but will continue to work when all others have stopped working. I watched this compound in action from the inside turn 1 wall at Martinsville for 500 laps and the flames coming off the brakes was spectacular even on a sunny day.

I ran 01's front 97's rear for sometime. Does your car have abs? If it's the '86 in your sig then no. In which case I found when switching from an '89 with, to an '86 without, that it is possible to induce lockup with the PFCs and the stock brake system. That's with BRs up front , Mo30 rears. While I love PFCs for their bite, if I had kept my car as it was I would have considered using a less aggressive pad. I've kept them in for now but that is with Tilton setup and no brake booster therefore I am hoping not to have lockup issues or at least be able to tune them out. You will just have to try them and see. My advice would be not to use a brand new set of tyres when you make the switch to the PFCs though. The first few times you try them I think you will be quite surprised by how quick they bite.
