PFC01 install
Are the PCF01 pads designed without the OEM type clips used to secure the pads in the caliper? Seems like they would rattle and shift a lot. I've been using Hawk DTC70 and they have the clips.

They do chatter a bit due to the lack of clips. Then the insanely loud freight train sound when applying the brakes makes the chattering seem like nothing. The 01's are definetly track only.

The Hawk DTC70's shriek also when cold. The low noise technique for me is to brake late and hard, then finish with the hand brake. But my last set of Hawk pads destroyed the finish of my stock wheels when I used them at a wet track event. Brake dust was baked into the paint. I want to try another compound.

Do people just not like or use Carbotech's? I've found they are pretty easy on the rotors and supply really good stopping ability. And they seem to last.
I should have let you test them out at TWS a couple weeks ago Phillip. It didnt even cross my mind. Sorry about that.

Good pads, but the PFC pads are better. FWIW, my PFC "stock" is now comprised of PFC-01 pads and the new PFC-08 pads (succeeding PFC-06). Neil |

I've used dtc70 obviously and they perform really well. But the brake dust ruined the finish on my wheels. Combination of hot wheels, wet track conditions and I let the wheels sit for almost a week before I attempted to clean them. My mistake.

I don't know if they really last longer than the 06s as we had a catch tank that spewed oil all over the front left rotor. Cracked the rotor and ruined the pad. Admittedly the right front pad still looked like it had some life left after 12 hrs. Last edited by robertm; 03-20-2012 at 10:25 AM.. |

Have you run the PFC-06 pads and, if so, how do they compare? Sorry 'bout the cracked rotor. Neil |

Dam it, I meant 06s pads (not 01s). I changed what I wrote. Yes we've been using the 06s pads for a couple years now and love them. They seem about equivalent to 01s but last WAY longer. Everything I wrote above was supposed to be in comparison to the 06 pads. Our race car only weighs about 2000 lbs though so will be interesting to see what you think on a heavier car. The biggest thing for me was having to stand on the brake petal to get them to bite. I think they are probably brake as strong as the 06s but the amount of effort it took to get them to do so was not fun at all. They possibly even last longer but as I said we f-ed up one side and that threw off comparisons. Please report back after you run the 08s. Last edited by robertm; 03-20-2012 at 02:26 PM.. |
