In the quest for pads again

I would love to make some suggestions but I need some more info first. How experienced of a driver are you? Do you want a track only pad or a hybrid track / street pad? What are you looking for in a pad?
Thanks,
Geoff

He mentioned he had XP11s which are pretty much a track only compound. I think he'd want something pretty hardcore.
CARBOTECH PANTHER XP11 (1111):
The latest iteration of the highly successful Panther 1100 series of compounds with even higher initial bite, torque and fade resistance than compound 1110!!! This was the favored compound of 2005 for SCCA T1 and T2 national drivers. Recommended only for cars weighing more than 2900lbs using R-compound tires or racing slicks. (SCCA T1, T2, A-Sedan, GT1, Trans-Am, NASCAR, etc) Not recommended as a daily-driving street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise
CARBOTECH PANTHER XP10 (1110):
For 2004, Carbotech unleashed Panther XP10 (compound 1110), and it was an instant success, gathering multiple regional, divisional, and even national SCCA road racing championships. This is a very high initial bite friction material, with a friction coefficient well above .6. Fade resistance is in excess of 1600F. Due to the high level of friction and bite, this material is recommended only for cars in excess of 2400lbs using R-compound race tires or slicks (SCCA SCC, SSB, ITS, Spec-Miata etc.) XP10 is also ideal for advanced/instructor level HPDE drivers. Compound 1110 still maintains the excellent modulation, rotor friendliness, and non corrosive dust that has made all Carbotech 1100-series friction compounds so successful! Not recommended as a daily-driving street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

Exactly, but I still drive my car with the XP11's already installed to the track
Hawk DTC70 look interesting
We'll see, Geoff suggest away, I have a month before my next event, so I have plenty of time to discuss pads and of course to buy them

Great pad, definitely hardcore. Can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Cheaper then Pagid Yellows IIRC, but not quite as easy on the rotors. I kinda like the Yellows better for the fact that they are kinder to your rotors and equally as hardcore.
Are you getting any air to the rotors?
If your arm is on fire, do you blow it out or let it burn? <-- Myles, from across the office

I installed the OEM mitsubishi air ducts, also using stoptech titanium backing plates in the front pads, noticed a huge difference in the pedal feel and no fade after 5 laps.
Im using Project Mu 2 piece rotors
BTW the Hawk DTC70's are advertised as unbeatable pad and rotor wear hmm seems its not that unbeatable after all heheh. After 1 event, how you rotors looked like? Let me know

I just tried the PFC-01's this past weekend. Easy to modulate, good initial bite, and after 8 hard sessions the hardly look worn. Oh, and absolutely no pad transfer problems which is what I was having an issue with before.
Where did you get the Ti plates? I developed a serious fluid boiling problem this past weekend...

And you are boiling your liquid because your pad is too agressive, happened to me with Project Mu racing Triple 7's and stock rotors.
Anyways I decided for the new LevelMAx 900, now findinf a set of rear titan kais
