Moderators- I inadvertently posted this in classifieds, please remove. Chris

I am currently sponsoring a local Mtn Bike 5 race series and the promoter is friends with the owners of Performance Friction. Knowing that I have a P-car and race auto-x on occassion, the promoter offered to get me a comp set of pads to try. It took about a month to get them because apparently they had to manufacture them for the 1974. I just received them today and was wondering if anyone on the board had tried them? (their site has listings for other Porsches, probably newer models) Their website is pretty informative and according to this guy they mainly produce pads and rotors for racing and performance applications. Prices seem high to me but I haven't really compared them any other high performance pad. I'll let the group know how they check out once I get them installed.

Here is a link to their website if anyone is interested. Maybe they could be added to Pelican's inventory?

I know about a half dozen Porsches that run the PF pads, both 911 and 944 owners, they mostly run the PF90's on the track.It is a very good pad.

I used PFC 90s last year for track events and they are very good. I have also used PFC 80s which are "hot" street pads but marginal for track. I will be trying out PFC 83s in the front with 90 in the rear this year. BTW the 90 compound is very similar to the Hawk Blues in performance. Note, like most performance pads, expect some squeal.
