Still nothing for 1.8 sport brakes?

Run a 1.8 non-sport caliper with bracket to space it over the sport rotor. Shazam, all the pad options.

But what benefits would I see from running my G-Loc 12/10 brakes for track and street? I know yours are bonded not riveted so longer pad life which is nice. What other benefits are there? I'm sure you can understand why someone might be a little skeptical when you tell them to put smaller brakes on a car with 3x the power of an otherwise stock 1.8

Recommending a caliper with slightly smaller piston size is not like recommending "smaller" brakes in general. If a size Large helmet is the right fit for your head, then a size XL is larger but that doesn't make it better. The importance of the caliper piston size is in how it relates to the other pistons in the system (front calipers and master cylinder), in the same way that the importance of the helmet size is in how it fits on your head. Bigger / smaller is not better / worse respectively. A smaller piston size in the rear caliper may improve your brake balance. It also may not, but that depends on the other elements in your brake system. This has been covered pretty exhaustively elsewhere.

The thing begging skepticism is why such a car is still using factory size brakes in the first place.

I had issues using hawk HPS pads but that’s to be expected. Was ready to get a BBK but many suggested Carbotech pads so at half the price I tried them and no more brake issues since. Our local track doesn’t require a ton of braking either. I’m moreso wondering how these compare to what I have now because I also hear good things about PFC. I don’t know the details of caliper and piston size or how that works so to someone who doesn’t know, the non sport caliper sounds like a downgrade when it may very well not be.

When it comes to stopping a vehicle. we have many components working together, finding a balance is the key to stopping performance. It's commonplace to compare brakes to power. Many think to have less power is a downgrade and I would agree it is, but try not to think like that around brakes. When it comes to vehicle declaration performance do remove the term 'Downgrade' from your vocabulary, and Replace it with 'Balance'.

Excuse my lack of reading comprehension, but is there a PFC compound that you guys sell/recommend for enduro use? Quasi-PTE car with Hankook RS4s, no aero, plain 1.8 calipers front and rear? Needs to last 15 hours minimum.

PFC 11 will last 15hours easy. I have teams that run them for multiple races. How many races they last will depend on the drivers.
Highly recommended you run slotted rotors for maximum life.

why is it cold out... winter is boring.

It was cold out at Barber this last weekend...but it definitely was not boring!

how was Barber in the snow? looked like fun.

There's a track day at Homestead Miami this Sunday. The weather supposed to be 62 in the morning with a high of 80 and sunny. Wintertime is track season down here. Y'all come.

Winter track time is a double edge sword. It's great to run to Florida, but I end up spending my Christmas budget on track time. :P it's not-so fun avoiding the family for 12 months.

Do you have PFC compounds for Wilwood Powerlite calipers? I have 4 of them on my ND. I am currently running Ferodo DS2500's and they used to be quiet, then I did two days at Laguna Seca, and now they are super loud and squeal. Each wheel has a different pitch and it is driving me crazy. The car is my fun car, I have to drive 5+ hours to even get to a track, and I don't tow the ND, so I need a one pad solution. Got suggestions?

Hello Chilicharger,
I'm sorry we don't have pads for powerlight calipers. Franky a little shocked your car has 4 of those calipers. We do have Padgid offerings for the OEM Brembo package. and FYI race pads will be noisy, they have no provisions for noise deadening.

Floridians should type "winter" with quotes around it, means something different than it does in the NorthEast. :D

ND miata Pads Incoming from PFC!

Available compounds.

PFC 11. The daddy and the #1 choice of professional race teams. Well over 200 professional level championships won (nascar,Imsa, PWC ect..) . Soft bite to avoid flat spotting and helps keep the vehicle stable under initial braking,
Dead straight consistent Tq output, less than 4% change over 1200*. Professional drivers love this.
Easy modulation helps you nail that trail braking moment.
Recommended for tires that range in QUTG from 200-50.

PFC13 The high torq option!
The new compound offering from PFC for those with mega sticky tires, and big downforce!
Soft bite to avoid flat spotting and helps keep the vehicle stable under initial braking,
High Torque for slowing the biggest of race tires. or for easing pedal effort with manual brakes.
Easy modulation helps you nail that trail braking moment.
Recommended for tires that range in QUTG from 90 and less, OR for manual brakes with qutg180 or less.

Joey from WRL mentioned he was in talks with with a few companies to replace HAWK for contingency....Hoping one of them is PFC! Sound like there are A LOT of racers from multiple organizations that have not received any pay out from HAWK for 2017 results. I was actually thinking of trying some DTC 60's for the SM this season since HAWK owes me a few hundred "bucks", but looks like I'll be staying with my trusty PFC 97's!

We can hope. The Love has been coming back to PFC in waves.

The 1.8L Endurance compounds are here!!

Will there ever be a 7754 pad shape option that is on the 11-12mm side of thickness instead of 16mm?

I just bought the set of 7752 to modify for dynopro (after having incorrectly purchased the 7754 years ago) and it was quite the experience to grind to clear a bridge bolt let alone the e-clip.

Not that big a deal, but it makes me want to buy a used Bridgeport :giggle:

that little spring is a pain. I'm still on the hunt for a 2 spring option that doesn't cross over the top.

might want to tape up the ducting for Charlotte. those long straights (lots of cooling), with a dragging brake zone (high heat) are rotor killers (thermal shock).
good luck guys!

I don't have much experience at charlottes road track. I would still tape them up at least halfway. This should kill a good amount of aero drag for your high-speed stuff.
Min temp is around 200*f I'm not worried about the pads working. I'm worried about the $22 rotor starting to break up from repeated cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot for 14 hours. the $22 rotors have a tendency to flake off the surface material when thermally shocked too much.
