that's all you got Dave.... its all you got! sad!
i know the last posts were more than 2 sentences, so i might have lost you.
here is the message: Learn to read, think and drive!
its funny, when i see your picture posts.. all i can think of is how perfect they are to you. no on is saying im wrong Hos....
you go ahead and continue to advise folks that lose their brakes to "ride it out" HAHAHA.. oh yeah, short shift because the higher RPM is just "noise".
oh... dont down shift, to get in the proper RPM, because you will spin and hit a wall.
oh shoot... longer than 7 words... im sure i lost you! :roflmo:

and barely in English. What does any of that have to do with "PFC 11 compound installed but sqealing badly?"?-Mike

You disagreed with me earlier in the thread on this, but I've never had a set of PFC track pads that were quiet on the street. PFC 01, 06, 08 and likely 11. They are quiet on the track. Until you brought it up, I've never heard "quiet on the street" and "PFC track pad" in the same sentence.
I call BS on "Completely untrue". Perhaps a case of YMMV, but there are several reported cases of PFC pads being noisy on the street. Indeed, they are posted in this thread.

ST41s are the only pads that really made a grinding noise all the time. they chewed up the rotor. dont know what they use as material, but it was pretty aggressive. even more so than PFC01 or 11. could have been the used rotor i started with though... as as it wore the noise went away. (finished the bedding process)

I answered completely untrue to the other post because there in fact track pads that are quiet on street. I have used them but they do not perform well in cool temperatures. So they are really not very good for the street in colder weather.
I have been racing and track driving for three decades. I have tried many different pads over that time. Blanket statements about equipment are generally problematic.
I am not sure what your issues are with my posts. Apparently in your world things are black or white. In my world everything is grey.

I guess it depends on what race ready means to you? Personaly, I want RACE, not just go fast. 
... they are not pre-bedded pads, but they are more race ready than most pads.
take your chances on lap one with a new set. you wont see me doing that. Ill bed them a bit first. less than a pagid black, but still need bedding none the less.

I've never had a set of track pads that were quiet on the street. I've used Pagid's, Hawk's, CarboTech's and PFC's. All made the car sound like a garbage truck on the street.
Please show me these mythical track pads that are also quiet for street use.

I was looking for info on whether I could/should run PFC11's on my stock(ish) 2.9 Cayman for the 435-mile drive up to Mont Tremblant from Providence RI, and I found this thread 
I think I'll go ahead and put them in before the trip so I don't have to bother with it after semi-long journey... Better to have couple of beers, food, and sleep after arriving than to wrench on car
I expect some noise, but how bad is dusting with these pads? Does it permanently imbed itself or does it remain clean-off-able?
TIA!
