Performance Friction Group Buy
I ran across this on another forum and wanted to share. The group buy is for PFC 08 and PFC's new "11" compound (replacement for the "01" compound) on ANY model and even aftermarket calipers.
Link to the group buy: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=452287 Interested: 1. Sixle- 11 front and rear? 2. jafo1701- 08 front and rear? *UPDATE* 12/4/13- http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=921066 Last edited by MMisencik157; 12-04-2013 at 11:56 PM.. |

I had never noticed that PFC did not make any of their race compounds for the stock 135 calipers (I have only used Carbotech and Cobalt pads up until this point).
Anyways it sounds like Speed Freaks (who is a Tier 1 PFC dealer) will be working with PFC to finally get pads made for the 135 if there is demand for them. 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. If you are interested please post up which of the two compounds you are most interested in (incase they can only do one or the other). I will be making a list to keep track of the amount of interest. I think what Speed Freaks is dong will benefit the community greatly so lets make this happen! I will be leading the charge on this so feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Last edited by MMisencik157; 08-18-2013 at 12:27 AM.. |

My first choice was PFC and I was saddened to find the didn't have a fit! Carbotech seems like the next best choice for me.
Hopefully we can get PFC on it to get us a pad option! |

*Update*
Speed Freaks, LLC has been working with PFC and at the moment the project is going forward for the 135i OEM Calipers since they have a lot of local interest at the tracks with their customers. It sounds like both the 11 and 08 will be made. 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 use their z rated pad on my e90 and am happy with it. It has low dust and holds up well even for hpde use. Certainly not a track pad but also doesn't self destruct like other non track pads.

jealous. Going to the track on a weekday and also that you are in a climate where the weather still allows you to track. season is over in the Midwest.

 Summer is actually my off season because it just gets too hot. Winter is normally nice weather and when all the fast times are set. |
