NA8 140 kw track day rear brake pads recommendations.

Running PFC-11 up the front, thinking of going either FORZA FP3 or EBC Yellowstuff for the rears? I drive it to the track too.

Thanks.

Why not some PFC-11s or PFC-97 for the rear? I get mine from http://www.compfriction.com.au/
I've used W5s on the street for ages, they're also a good option.

I have some Endless ME22 that are half used you could purchase. Might have some well used W5s and 97s as well you can try.

All of them are good for track days, some not as good for others for 15+ lap races.
Cheers,

Hey thanks Shane. Was wondering where to get PFC in Australia. Really happy with them so far, they seem to last forever and don't destroy rotors like the last pads that I tried. Haven't used many pads, but I do know what doesn't work..hahaha.

I ordered a set of Forza fp-3 for the rear, hopefully they'll play nice with the PFC-11's up the front. I got 3 sets of the pfc's when I ordered them in from the USA, 2.5 years on I'm only half way through the first set! Rotors have zero lip. Helps to justify the cost of the pads. I'll check out compfriction!.
