Chris, thanks for all the info.

Anyone use Pagid RS 4-2-1 Black, or Pagid RS 4-2 Blue on their AP BBK for street and track use???
How about Ferodo DS2500? I used the Ferodo DS2500 in the past for both street and track with great results when I ran Brembos.

Remember, not all pads are stocked by all distributors at all times. The popular ones get more love whether any one person likes them better or not. Plan ahead for track days in case they need to be ordered so you don't get caught out. Note: Pad availability does not constitute an endorsement. Discuss pad selection with professionals who understand your driving style and the tracks you will be driving on. Chris Last edited by AP Racing - Chris_B; 05-14-2010 at 12:54 PM.. |

Chris,
Any word if the PFC Z-Rated pads are available? I searched the internet, but could not find anything. I will probably use PFC 01s for track use, but still looking at my options.

When I did my research, I found the PFC 7790 pad shape fits the AP Racing front CP5555 caliper. I couldn't find a rear that fit, although Chris might know of one. If you look at the BMW Motorsport catalogs, they commonly match a PFC-01 at the front with a Pagid compound at the rear.

I used 01's on my last car and loved them. Easy to modulate. The tricky bit is finding a rear pad that matches well enough that you get good balance. If you're running 01's in the front you want a rear pad that produces the same torque but at a lower temperature. The rear doesn't work as hard.

Not necessarily, but information is still sketchy on these. Both series are made by several of the top companies out there with some tweaking to AP's preferences. The F40x series is being specified by AP Racing engineers and the other has strong input from US-based track specialists. I am looking forward to more test data on all of these to see where these stack up against other popular pads.

Chris, we are vendor for AP Racing and even as a vendor, we really appreciate the wealth of information that you have shared with us. This is really helpful.
Also, we did confirm fitment of the AP Racing 368mm kit on the 18" TE37, RE30, G2 and the new TE37 SL

After much searching. I think I have decided on Pagid Yellow RS29s for track use.
I'll report on the AP Kit and the pads after my track date at Road Atlanta.

Curious why you feel the need to change the pads. One of the reasons I chose this kit was JAJ's review and how happy he was with the pads that come with the kit both on the street and the track. I have had 3 track days on these so far and couldn't be happier.
