I'm here to..

.....praise PF-08 pads. Yeah, they are noisy unless stone cold or hot, and they are dusty. But do they stop! I spent March 30/31 at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) with the Tarheel Chapter of the BMWCCA. My instructor, Randy Perry, had me hitting (an I mean SLAMMING) the brakes at marker 2 at turn 13! (Here's the track layout: http://virnow.com/wp-content/uploads...rse_2018km.jpg) These pads on the factory rotors NEVER faded, NEVER failed! I was able to out-brake every other car, including a couple of vettes, in my class. The pulsing/juddering noted earlier in the thread is gone. I attribute that to not fully and completely bedding in the pads. Yes, the fluid was flushed prior to the weekend with Motul RBF600.

If you want track pads that are fine (if you don't mind the noise) for your DD, then PF-08 pads are your best bet.
