Thanks for the input, you’re right in line with the pads I’ve been considering.
How was pad life with the DSUNO? Did you have any issues with ABS running the stock rear pads? What made you move away from this setup?
For the Raybestos pads, did you purchase new rotors? If not did you have any issues with shuddering after cleaning off the old compound?
Lastly, sorry for all the questions, are you switching back to street pads or just running a dedicated track setup?
My 350 is going to be 80% track duty since it’s a third car, but would like to take it out on the street every now and then.
Thanks again!
For the DSUNO, I used them for 5-6 weekends, and still have them as my backup pads, with about 1/3 thickness left. I remembered the reason I tried another pad was that they didn’t have as much initial bite as I was looking for. I used PFC-01’s in my old S197 with Stoptech 4-pistons and loved them. I have never found a compound I liked as much as those. That said, I’m also a faster driver now and probably use less brakes than I did back then - so maybe rose colored memories there!
Never noticed any ABS issues with the stock or any rears. Not related, but I had a rear bearing go bad last year and the speed sensor didn’t work right. It meant the computer was working overtime trying to work the rears and I got those Pagids over cooked!
Since it was time for new pads, and because - COTA, I put fresh stock rotors on with the Raybestos, and bedded them in best I could before the track day.
When I had the DSUNO pads, I changed them with the factory pads, no issues - both Ferodo of course.
My car is 95% track toy, rarely drive it on the road, and I just keep the track pads in it. No problems with an occasional drive, just extra space for cold pads.
Enjoy the GT350, I like them, and 2 buddies got them after I got my GT, so was not able to get in front of them! My prior S197 was a Shelby GT, which was cool, but I didn’t want to “cut up” a Shelby to make it a track car. So, I got the S550 and have made some mods. Just sent my oldest to Freshman year of college, so investment is paused, will have to drive what I have!
