Performance Friction discs

[northerner]

Any feedback on Performance Friction discs especially for track use?

Looking at getting either a set of these or some Alcons with custom bells to fit the GT4 with Pagid RSL29 pads.

I raced a GT3 Cup with PF floating discs and pads (can't remember compound). Never a moment of problem and the braking on my car was epic. The team who ran my car used them across many cars with success.

ran them on a 996 GT3 (6 pot upgrade) and on a 997 cup
very good - no issues at all

George at Road Track Race Parts can probably supply you with the bits, he's pretty local as well.

The PF discs work well and in my experience of running FP or Alcon discs there really isn't any difference in performance or durability. The PFs do loose out on the cosmetic side as the bolts holding the hat in place do get surface rust over time never had the Alcons do this.

PF pads, I have had an issue with where the pad material came away from the backing plate while on track resulting with steel on steel and the brake fluid over heating and total failure. Running the same set up with pagid pads never had an issue. Unlike Pagid pads the brake material isn't pinned to the backing plate on the PFs.

The cause of the above issue was the rear brake on the 997 running to hot, which caused the pad material to fall away from the backing plate. I've now fitted RS brake ducts to rear of car and had no repeat while using Pagid pads, not been brave enough to retry the PF pads since.

Great discs (ran them on the front of a tracked 996.2 GT3). Just choose the pads carefully - I can't remember the PF ones I used but they left black dust all down the side of the car after a decent track day. And getting it off the wheels wasn't easy. Car stopped brilliantly though
