AP 9668 pad choices
Have been running DS1.11 for about 6 events now. Outstanding wear characteristics but I want something with more bite. Thinking Cobalt XR2, or Hawk DTC60. Other options I should look at? I was also thinking DSuno front and keeping the DS1.11 in the rear. But I really can't seem to find good info about how to split F/R compounds.
I previously ran DTC70 F/R on my stock calipers on the old E92, and did quite like them.

Which tires are you running?
I run 70's with RR and R1. Work quite well. If you're threshold braking I don't think it makes sense to run a more aggressive compound up front. |

V730 right now. Plan to try RT660 next, but I don't see slicks or anything like that in the future

I've been real happy with the cobalts. XR2's have been my sweet spot on NT01's, but if you're looking for more bite, you can consider the XR1's. I never liked the hawks. In my experience, once they wore down to 50%, they became inconsistent.

For a street-class tire, the guy who created the Cobalt compounds recommended XR2-front/XR3-rear. When I moved into slicks, then I moved up to XR1-front/XR2-rear, which is what I'm on now.

I did DS3.12s with mine and was very happy with them. 200TW tires.
You could also look at the new Hawk ER1 pads if they're available in that pad shape - I've been very impressed with that pad in my limited interactions with it so far.
