Performance Friction Pads for 135i

[MMisencik157]

I dont know why I didn't just post here from the beginning. Anyways, Speed Freaks (who is a Tier 1 PFC dealer) is working with PFC to finally get pads made for the stock 135i calipers. The options would be for the brand new 11 compound or the relatively new 08 compound.

Compound descriptions from PFC:
NEW 11 Compound
11 Compound is a new generation sprint and medium distance friction —the ultimate in control, with superior disc conditioning. 11 compounds were developed from the 01 compound with improved bite, modulation, and release characteristics. It is ultra smooth and developed to reduce wheel locking at the end of a stop. Brake with confidence—brake with ultimate control and modulation. For many applications, 11 will replace the venerable 01 compound.
Typical applications; Ideal use for medium-low grip venues where control and modulation is at a premium. Also racing venues where ABS systems are used, .11 can be used in a large spectrum of temperature ranges. 11’s wear is par with PFC’s legendary 01 compound. Virtually zero taper wear when raced in a properly designed race caliper.

08 Compound
08 compounds are one of PFC newest and have gained immediate favor in Endurance Sportscar, and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. 08 have a slight friction rise with temperature, excellent release and modulation characteristics. Very low abraded disc wear with a fine grey slate like disc finish, similar to 01. Despite its considerable performance, 08 wears the longest of all PFC pads and easily matches wear of the other competitors with much higher bite
Typical applications: Ideal use for endurance where long wear is at a premium. Also racing venues where ABS systems are used.

I would like to get a list going of who would like pads and the compound so please post up if you are interested!

The most popular compound split is 08 compound front and rear or 11 compound front with 08 in the rear if you want a little more front bias for stickier EHP street tires and beyond.

I will be leading the charge on this so feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Interested:
1. Sixle- 11 front / 11 rear?
2. jafo1701- 08 front / 08 rear

Yes, front and rear. As soon as I burn through my current carbotech set-up I would be willing to changeover to the PFC 08s.
