Thanks for the info. I have heard great things about the Ferodo DS2500 and PFC08. I'm not too mechanically inclined and don't want to be swapping brakes. I've got another 'proper' track car for a good bash, the 1M makes it out once a month for some good fun. It's not going to be daily driven anymore either. So either of these two or the Sport sones should be good? I feel tempted to try the sport ones so I can ask the dealer to install it with no issues. |

http://www.eliseparts.com/products/s...-silencer-kit/ If you look at the standard oem pads, you'll see the same thing as what is shown in the link above. |

Which do you think is a better balance, DS2500 or OEM Sport? |

The initial bite of the DS2500 is not as sharp and hard as the OEM Sport Pads. OEM Sport Pads have a better initial bite during winter temperatures. However, the DS2500 has a similar initial bite and pedal feel as the standard OEM pads when cold. Once warm/hot, the DS2500 improve quite a bit in terms of pedal firmness and bite. The DS2500 is nearly half the price of the Sport Pads. Given that it doesn't get particularly cold in Australia compared to Europe, the DS2500 should work well for you. They are good quality pads and are often used in the AP Racing BB kits. In your situation, I would probably go for them since they aren't too expensive and you can always get something more track focused if you find them inadequate. |

You're welcome. Oh, one more thing, with hybrid/track pads, they may rattle over rough roads, and will clank when you brake as your reverse and clank again when you brake after moving forwards - the pads are simply just shifting within the caliper. The reason for this is because the metal pad-back is made slightly smaller to allow for thermal expansion when your brakes get really hot, so as to prevent the pad from seizing within the caliper.

If thats the case (as stated I have no experience with those) than I would say those are your best option OP. Anything that doesn't have those clips will instantly go into the "not what you're looking for" category

I just picked up my car today, and the SA told me I have warped rotors at the front. both with 0.008MM. So they replaced both front rotors under warranty, but no new pads installed. Case closed.

Good that they replaced it FOC. But 0.008mm is defined as runout not warped .

Nice. I ran limerock with my new PFC08's. IDK how those are, but i would consider running stock pads on the back. I ran the 08's all around and sometimes experienced shuddering during hard braking, and it may just not be necessary for different back pads. Personally, im still not completely used to the new hot biting power. The PFC's are just ridiculous. It was like going back to square one because my braking strategy, pedal use, etc. had to completely change with them. I was overbraking way too much. On a positive note my instructor (races F2000 cars) was blown away by the braking power. He was in disbelieve when he asked if they were 2 or 4 pot brakes and I said 1 As of right now I may be done for the season Not sure how many more weekdays I can get off as I am working in Hartford CT for at least the next month or so, and then Boston. I would love to go back to NJ. I have put power mods aside for now.. My next priority is to save for a set of APEX Arc-8's with some stickier rubber. Oh yeah that reminds me, my rear tires are TOAST and definitely not track worthy. (Dont know whether to or lol ) |

I know I saw a post about this earlier.... but I guess this answers the question somebody posed as to whether the dealer finds it easier/cost worthy to chase down the problem and possible causes or to just declare it warped and replace. |
