Pads for ST-40 calipers. What do you like and who do you get them from?

[GlennCMC70]

Like the title says, what and who......
I may need to install my new brakes for MSR-C.

I've been on PFC01's, but I've heard those are now obsolete, but replaced by an equivalent PN.

Yep. I ran the PFC01 but last time I ordered (from John George) he said the 01 was no longer available so I went to the 06. I can't tell any difference. I just went on line and the 01 is there. I did not try and click on it.

if you liked the CT's for the LS calipers then you could stay w/ that. carbotech makes pads for the ST-40 in all their regular compounds. dunno about availability etc.

I'm going to try this pad next. Less than half price of the PFC's. I know Dan runs then and he is kinda fast......

Dan and I run the R4, not the R4-E. I've been running it for a very long time and like it enough that I haven't tried any of the newer compounds. I have no data to compare it to anything else...

Thanks Richard. I hope I like the R4. The price of the PFC's are crazy when you look at them next to the Porterfields.

So what is the proper process for rotors if you switch pad compounds? Especially for floating rotors with slots... I'm not really interested in buying new rings to just change pad compounds.

I've never had an issue as long as I was going from one race pad to another. When I used to drive my C6 to the track and change pads to race pads then change back to street pads I did have issues because the street pad could not knock off the transfer layer from the harder race pad. After a few days it would be okay.
