RS29 vs PFC08 Pads

Hi Guys,

I know lots of this has been answered before, but I never saw much directly comparing the two. My apologies if I've missed anything obvious and please excuse my naivety.

I will only be doing 5-10 track days a year, and after reading a bit, it sounds like the PFC08 is the most commonly recommended pad I've seen in the forums. However, I can't find anywhere to buy them online. Is the F80 pad size just not available yet? Could anyone point me in the right direction?

However, I am able to find the Pagid RS29s on Turner Motosport, but one of the pluses people mentioned about the PFC08's is that the compound was "compatible" with the OEM pads, so you could swap from OEM and back without having to "clean" the rotor before bedding the pads. Does anyone know if this is the same for the Pagid RS29s? I'd like as quick and easy a procedure for swapping, so any tips are greatly appreciated!

Are there any other considerations I should be paying attention to when deciding between the two? Are there other pads I should be considering? Do any of you recommend one more than the other?

I was also considering running higher temp brake fluid, but if I were to, does that mean I must swap it back out for normal brake fluid when I get home from the track?

Thanks for any help!
