Yet again these performed faultlessly on track and from the looks of it will be plenty good enough for a season of TA.

At the end of a 20 minute session of getting progressively quicker and later braking they were still strong enough to lock the wheels coming into the chicane from 135mph.

Totally impressed still.

Had a chat to the guy from PF yesterday that was there to offer advice and he has recommended the 01 pads for more initial bite. Will try and get some of these sorted for the first event.

Ducting seems to be doing enough to cool them and they had gone a lovely blue colour so wear working hard

Good to hear.

Zak fitted them to his JDM at Brands, and I must say they were used to the extreme and were very impressive.

Do they do these for 330mm AP's ?

Just to report about my 097 compound pads. I haven't used them on track yet but on the road they have massive bite......from cold! Very unusual but excellent of course. The only downside is that they are so good that it's hard to modulate at road speeds. Won't be a problem on track though.

yes PF do replacement rotors for the 330 kit as well as various pad options, but not the z-rated road type

We have started testing the 01 race pads in the Ksport brakes.

For road use the bite is awesome, will know in 10 days or so what track performance is like.

Are you going to be offering the kits with 01 pads as an option?
