I think he will be going a bit quicker now with the new found front bite!

Guys thanks for all the suggestions I think I will give the PFC 08's a go as yesterday at Goodwood was just awful after 2/3 laps in the 25 degree heat...

Niel where did you get your pads from??

M3 adjuster were your pads replaced under maintenance or did you foot the bill?

1M Roo · 08-02-2012, 02:16 PM

Just been speaking to Parr Motorsport who are going to supply and fit the pads and they reckon that if you want to use the car on th road without excessive noise then the N rated ones are best with upgraded guild and hoses. Should be done w/c 13 August...

Did you ask about the 08's? I am only planning to put them on before an event and drive them there

Hi 1M Roo, I have ATE Superblue liquid and Goodridge steel braided brake hoses with oem pads, I got no fading at all with 3 trackdays done for now, especially that Spa-Francorchamps requires hard brakings. I'm gonna upgrade the pads with Textar friction too.

firechicken99 · 08-02-2012, 05:21 PM

These pads aren't easy to get a hold of!! Trying to get my hands on some 08's.

First set was replaced free. Second set they balked at. Likely to stop me from coming in every 4K miles.
Hehehe. Ill run aftermarket pads and add some miles and then they should cover some stock pads for street in a few more k miles.

Hi Mark we have spoken before and I finally found some tires, but 275x35x18 all square seems to want to step out beyond my comfort level. considering more rear tire. any thoughts and any knowledge about how much rear tire will fit? Eddie

on a 10" wheel probably 285 easily.. I think rim width is the limitation, not tire size. I believe some with staggered setups are running 295 in the rear.

Long story short Harold at HPA is the man! He got everything together and I have a set of PFC-08's arriving at my house for install this weekend!!

HPA is now carrying them for the factory calipers and will be carrying the pads for aftermarket calipers upon request/in the future, and the price was competitive! Great first experience working with them!
