Hi all,
Let me start by saying that I have searched and done a lot of reading on this. I have a general idea of what I should be looking at, but would love some specific advice for my particular situation. I have a modified 2010 running PFC Directdrive rotors and PFC-01 pads for now - see my sig for the other mods.
I use my GTR as my daily driver, but with a relatively short (14 mile round trip) daily commute. I go to the track about 7-8 times per year and would characterize myself as a high-intermediate/low-advanced driver. I am too lazy to change out pads before and after each track event. I am planning to stick with the PFC rotors (already have a spare set of front rotors).
The PFC-01 pads were fine for me on the track and I had no issues on the street, even when cold. They were pretty noisy at very low speeds, and that was occasionally embarrassing at stop lights, but that is a very minor factor for me.
My front pads are starting to get worn down and I am trying to figure out what my next set of pads is going to be. Based on my reading, I am heading towards either the Endless MX-72s or the Hawk DTC-60/70s. When choosing between these pads, these are the pros and cons as far as I can tell:
MX-72: Relatively quiet on the street which would be nice, but not a huge factor for me. Good mix of street and track pad, but kind of expensive.
DTC-70s: More aggressive track pad with good track performance. Very good price. I am assuming they will be noisier on the street, but I am more concerned with rotor wear. Will these things just chew up my rotors during my daily driving, offsetting the cost savings for the pads themselves?
Would love the community's thoughts on which pads (including others I have not mentioned) would be best for me.
Thanks!
