What is your experience level at the track?
Yes!

The ideal is that you want something with a wide enough of a temperature range so that "low grip" tires like the PS4S can generate enough heat into them to bring it into operating range. You also want low enough torque so that you don't overpower the tires at every jab of the brake pedal.

The PFC08 had no issues at Laguna Seca when I went. The PS4S were at its limit before the brake pads so I think you should be fine with them. Just FYI they are loud. I have a full OE set with 1 track event (morning was wet so not that used) sitting in my garage now.

I've been recommended DTC60 pads and so far I've been liking them and their price!
