It’s a good pad for a light momentum car like Miata My Porsche is a street car with cup 2 tires and a bit more power and a bit less weight than stock f80, and 1000c max temp Gloc r12 is the recommended compound I guess everyone uses brakes differently and goes to different track configs, so ymmv |

In my BBK-equipped cars I run the PFC11 all the time because the pads are very quiet. This way I have one less thing to do in a track day. |

Temp range of 0 - 700 C is quite impressive and more than the Ferodo DS2500 of 0 - 500. Most pads that can handle such high temps are not advised as street friendly. From searching on google I find mostly good impressions on various forums. Seems like they're basically a better version of DS2500 with a higher max operating temp, less dust. Pretty damn expensive though, but I guess the price is justified if they live up to the specs. I did find one person complaining about them being noisy but most impressions said they were quiet. Thinking I might order a set. |

Not these specific pads but I have done a track pad up front PFC-08 and a high performance street pad in the rear (PFC Z-rated) in the past on another car. It worked fine. You could tell a difference but it was nothing huge and just fine for 8/10ths.

Really curious to see the caliper temps at a track like Laguna. Most of the tracks in SoCal are relatively easy on brakes as evidenced by the modest 166°C / 330°F on the rear caliper. And as expected, the front BBK run much cooler in spite of doing most of the work.

Agreed. Upgraded rotors and DS2500s on Pilot Super Sports have been a great combination with the tires overheating before the pads start fading. I have yet to see if the DS2500s would cope with RE71s or similar, but I suspect RE71s would push the DS2500s over the edge. Like others, I wish the DS2500s had a bit more bite, but they do work very well as a street pad.

I run the PFC11 all around with 200TW tires and I'm happy with their performance. I swap my pads out if I have long breaks between track days. Besides an occasion squeak at low speed they make no noise on the street when I do need to daily them. YMMV.

Somehow I misplaced my front OEM pads for the blue calipers. I intended to reinstall these after my last track day next week.
Any reason to buy anything but OEM which I think is textar? thx |

I’ve had ds2500 for over a year purely for DD and they are fine but they do lack that initial bite until warm.
My only complaint is the drone I get when braking from high speed. I’m in Germany now so I need confidence in the brakes when tipping along at 185mph! They stop the car but the droning sound is off putting. I had the exact same on my e46 m3 years ago. Anyone else experience this? |
