Thanks a few questions. Are you running the stock rotors? How are you finding the rotor wear? Are you running the GS3 tires?

I have heard a lot of complaints about modulation and issues with ABS kicking in more often because trouble modulating input.

I get about 4 days out of the front PSTD pads at tracks like Mid Ohio, COTA, NCM, VIR, Pitt Race.


They have plenty bite/modulatability and are super cheap. Have had some slight fitment issues on the rear where the brake pad backing plate was snug against the hub but made it work. Great pads... but don't buy them all up, as AJ said!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

Since I already have the DCT60 installed for next event, I will see how that goes and go from there. Good to know there are other options than extreme grip pads. That's a definite plus for this platform for sure.

These are great pads for the track, Ran the R10 on the front and R8 on the back and even with the JL9 base brake package my instructor was impressed on how well they worked. Flushed with SRF and didn't experience fade and had confidence in every hard brake situation. Man they make a mess glad I done my rims in graphene coating so they cleaned up easy.

I just got DCT 60s, as I’m yet to see a street pad handle the heat and not leave any uneven deposits or melt. I like to drive deep into the brake zones and brake late and hard. Can the OEM pad really handle this?
I just got 5 track days (3 days Summit Point Main & 2 days VIR Full)out of my front OEM pads . Still have some more days in my rear. Around 2500 miles on track and street on the front OEM pads before replacing.
