Alternative pad to PF 06 ??

[CorvallisBMW]

We are in dire emergency need of a race pad for our 325e LeMons car. It seems the Performance Friction 06 pads are on nationwide backorder and we need something else NOW. 100% track-driven car, needs to hold up to 8 hours of abuse by novice, sloppy and ungainly drivers.

Did you check with Bimmerworld?

PFC-01 pads would be my next choice. They won't last as long as the 06 compound and will be slightly more agressive, but otherwise they are interchangeable.

shit... hawk hp+ are pretty aggressive.

Lol! If you're running 06 in the front the 01 should work great in the rear. I bet they'd last too.

That combination will work, though I haven't found it to be any better that 06 or 01 compounds all the way around.

How many times do I have to tell people that the HP+ is a street/autox pad ONLY and is NOT to be used on track? Seriously, if you're going to claim that the HP+ is an acceptable pad for any sort of race car you need to refrain from posting in the brakes section.

I never mentioned anything about them being great track pads. I only mentioned that they are aggressive. I use them for the rear of my drift car to initiate a drift into a turn; they lock up pretty well.

The OP stated he NEEDED something else for his track car. I merely brought up the Hawks because I have some experience with them. Then again, I don't know shit about "race cars" that have to do 8 hours of constant heavy track time. I'm only "claiming" they are pretty aggressive for my drift car. But I guess it's not a race car... I apologize to the R3V community, especially the brakes section, for my post. Disregard what I said.

Can you get any hawk compounds? I've usually gotten good life out of DTC-60's, average was 3-4 track weekends a set (so 6-8 track days) that should get you pretty close to 8hrs...
