Track Pads Questions

[Racer Boy]

I haven't done any updates on this thread, but I did switch to the PFC 08s. I tried to bed them in at least a little bit on the street, and they squealed like the school bus from hell.

The first track session, they juddered terribly once they got hot, but towards the end of the session they smoothed out a bit, so I was hoping that everything would be fine. The second session, they worked great! I've run four more track sessions since then without any judder issues at all. Now they are mostly quiet on the street.

My second track day was at Pacific Raceway, which is notoriously hard on brakes. I did get some fade, but they would come right back if you took it easy for half a lap. Overall, they are much better than any of the EBCs I've run. So far I'm pleased!

Agreed. I just moved from a C4S with PFC 08s which squealed like a school bus.
On the boxster I also got the juddering on my first session, but after that they ran smooth and they aren't squealing at all hot or cold. My wife is excited, and I don't have to switch the brake pads back to stock for my wife in between track days if they stay quiet

You were probubly getting that judder because the was old pad compound on the rotors. Once it got burned off after a few laps and the new compound was burned on all was good
