Appreciate the detailed response though!!

Performance Friction have modified their PF08 pads this year. Previously, they did not have the anti-rattle clips on the back plates. When I purchased a new set this spring, I was happily surprised that the clips were present. I am also wondering if the changed the compound somehow.
Last year, I could not bear the sound of the PF08 on the street. They rattled and squealed like hell. This year, because of the clips, no more rattle. Further, they barely squeal at all. I don't know if the clips reduced the squeal of if PF modified the compound. They are very liveable on the street and I don't bother swapping them anymore. The dust is not so bad and street rotor wear is perfectly acceptable. Cold grip is also perfectly fine for DD use.
You should try them out on the street before you start swapping.
