Brake Pad Selection Assistance

I love my PFC Braking setup!

You running Z rates pads? I was considering the z rated pads because I know PFC make quality products. How's the dust and performance? nahvkolaj

Yup, Z rated for street, PFC 08 for the track. Extremely happy with both. For dust, its about what you would expect. They aren't the cleanest pad. But I don't really mind it.
As for performance, they are easily the best pads I have ever tried. Done Hawk, EBC, Akebono etc.
I am running stainless brake lines, Motul RBF 600, PFC Direct drive rotors and Bimmerworld sold caliper guide bushings.

I am happy with them. The dust isn't too bad (better than the StopTech street pads I had on my Z3). Fairly consistent and I haven't gotten them to fade in street or mountain driving.

I actually drove a rental '24 Mustang and my M3 on the same mountain road just a couple weeks apart (Little Tujunga Canyon if anyone is wondering). I got the Mustang to feel pretty spongy, I think, by the end. I only say I think because the brakes never felt that direct. Might be BBW system. The M3 was fine.
