Review: PFC 08

So i finally got around to putting the PFC08s on since i have 3 track days next week.

setup:
I have the dimpled and slotted Mperformance rotors (340)
Bmmerworld SS shielded lines
Motul 600 fluid
Street tires (dws06 225x40x18 on stock wheels)


Conclusions after some sprinted Mexico driving:

Stops better than any other pads i have tried thus far.
Does not need tons of heat to bite, could be a daily driver pad if you wanted too.

It sounds like a true race pad, school bus, SCREEEECCCHHHH.
If you can deal with loud brakes, they are worth checking out. They will cut your stopping distance in half.

As far as track review, i'll have that by next weekend to see if they can handle 3x days of DE's advanced group.

I want to mention that the brake sensors will not fit directly into these pads.

I spent a good amount of time on them with a dremel and file to get them to fit right.

you could also just tie the sensor up in the wheel well and replace after switching pads back to your street pads.

theses are great pads, no fade at all, never really had to stand on them.

Day 1 done, 2 more to go.
