HPDE novice. Done a few events at NJMP Thunderbolt and Lightning; will likely stay on those tracks for now. My E90 6MT is mainly a street car. 245f/265r tires, PS4S or an endurance 200TW tire (AD09, R-S4, NT01, etc.). Öhlins R&T. Stock powertrain. No aero. Stock weight.
F8x front spindle & brake swap coming soon. Looking forward to that!
So far, I’ve tried Hawk DTC-60 and Ferodo DS2500, and disliked both. DTC-60 was inconsistent for me (I suspect because I couldn’t always keep enough heat in them) and easily overwhelmed the tires and ABS. DS2500 was a far better fit but didn’t quite have enough performance. Both had a lot less initial bite than I want, requiring me to get deeper into the pedal, and that sapped my confidence.
Might Pagid RSL29 be worth a shot? If so, that’d be my first choice as ECS sells it with lifetime replacement.
If not, how about PFC 08 or 11? Or would those be overkill?
I’m aware there are many other options and the best way is to experiment. What I’m hoping for here is to find the options that have the best odds of success so I can prioritize those.
Grateful for any feedback!
