As I've always said...the stock setup works fine with the right upgrades. But a BBK will last a lot longer. I've rotated a set of PF01s and ST SR34 pads on my 4 wheel BBK and still have both sets of pads after 12 weekends of use. Although the pads are close to done...they still have a weekend or two left.

For HPDE stuff, use 08's. Good, not fantastic initial bite, but they last and last and last. I've never experienced fade in Vegas temps on track.
I think the PF08s have a higher temp threshold than the PF01s. Because the one thing I've noticed with the PF01s is they will still stop no matter how hot they are...but you'll be losing a ton of pad driving them beyond their temp limits.

PF01s will last as long as you don't cook them every session.
