I never tried the Pagids, but use Hawk DTC-60 front and rear.
The shop that works on my car uses them for other SPBs also.

Always a great question, I went from Pagid Yellow to RE 10 , I really like the RE 10 it might be too much of an aggressive pad for my use but we'll see what kind of rotor wear I get.

Wait, you use the brakes?? Lol.

I have PFC 08s, they are great, but I don't think they are available anymore. Everyone I speak to seems to me migrating to the Ferodo DS3.12. I have a set in boxes, but still burning through my last set of PFC 08s, so no feedback yet..

Raybestos ST43 -Tons of power, good heat resistance, work immediately even in "cold" and last forever, fronts two seasons, rears three until they reach 40%. Porterfield in CA. custom cuts them for the 986

I'm a PFC 08/11 guy and see no reason to switch, unless they are discontinued, which would suck.

Last I talked to Clark at Apex he said PFC was getting out of the motorsports brake business altogether. I also hope that has changed.

The preferred set up we seem to sell most is Pagid yellow front/black rear. Which is opposite what SPC guys want.
Though we use Carbotech on our SPC and are very happy.
