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

FYI, Stoptech says when you can to use used rotors with new pads and used pads when changing to new rotors.

I use an air grinder but put a scotch brite wheel on it instead of the grinder wheel.

Sure, that is pretty typical for the bed in process of both rotors and pads. You still want a clean new rotor and a clean (non glazed) set of pads.
The deal is that if you have both new, one or both could wind up heating up too quickly during bed-in.
So if you change both your rotor and pads to new at the same time, bed in one at a time. Once they are prepped, you would go with the new rotor (bedded) with new pad (bedded)

Anyone know the part# for the PFC-11 pads for the Stop Tech calipers?

Good find Marshall! I just ordered two sets. I can't tell a difference in the 01 and the 11 and $309 shipped to Texas is a great price.

Hold the phone. I have been e-mailing the guy. He does not have stock. He also said the price is old.....no shit. I told him the 01's were no longer being made and he had no idea. He just told me that price is below his cost now. I ask for a refund. Move along, nothing to see here.

Obviously I never installed those brakes yet.
While doing motor #2 install, I saw where the front rotors were questionable for TWS in Sept. Looking to install the brakes now. Still leaning towards the Carbotech's for $206 or so. I have had very good luck w/ them for a very long time. Wondering if anyone opinion has changed since I started this thread.

I purchased the Porterfield R4's but still have not installed them. Ask Dan he runs them and they are only $230.00.
