      I like them too. Just never have seen the sparks until I switched the rotors.

          You probably have the best endurance pad with pfc08, if you like them, keep using them.

            Did you bed your other pad/rotor combo at night? I've seen Hawk pads do this on stock rotors on a few cars.

              This is the first time I've done a night bedding. This was a last minute deal. I've never done this at night so I don't know. Crazy sparks.

                I don't know any difference. I've only used PFC 08. They last a long time. I really like them. I've just shocked at the difference in brake dust going from a seasons Stoptech rotor to a brand new GiroDisc. I've not seen that kind of dust ever while using PFC 08. I've done over 30 track events and more autocross. Wow. Simply wow. I wish I could posted the video. Lol.

                  That looks like a night session at LeMans at the end of Mulsenne. Last time I saw brakes like that was on ferrari challenge cars going into braking zone for wall of champions in montreal.

                    I like the sound of that……… much better than 47mph on Deerpath in Batavia

                      Update. Running at Road America today. Old seasoned Stoptech aero rotors with PFC 08 pads. Everything works great. Interesting, not nearly the amount of brake dust after a session driving triple digits and hard braking as opposed to bedding the rotors at 47 mph. I'm calling GiroDisc tomorrow and Bimmerword. See what they say.

                        Re: the original OP pic:

                        That much metal coming off either rotors or pads on a street car is very high wear and undesirable, bedding or not.

                          That's metal 🤘 Pads are cutting away rotor to match old rotor wear pattern.

                            The rotors feel like a record.

                                I agree. Tonight's project remove the old rotor and pads to takes pictures as comparison and I will post. Fun. Lol
