PFC08 in GTA/Canada?

Absurdium · 04-13-2018, 04:34 PM

Anyone know where to get PFC08 pads in Canada? Looking to get a set for an upcoming track day about a month from now. Tried alphamotorsport and I know there are multiple vendors across the border that have them but I was wondering if anyone knows a local vendor that can get me them without the inclusion of high duty?

Any help is much appreciated.

I just ordered mine from Topbrakes.com and they had the best price and free shipping. Got them in 4 days.

Thanks for the info. However I'm trying to find a Canadian vendor to avoid some potentially painful duty; paid $400+ in duty for a $2000 set of wheels recently.

Would you consider pagids?

Sportscarboutique has them.

perryautolaval.com carries them and they now ship.

Heard good things about pagid but better things on pfc08. I'm gonna be running nt01 this season so I wanted something that's more durable.

Website doesn't list them for BMW M4.
Are you sure they carry them?

They can order them for you. I've done it in the past for my E92 M3.

Are PFC08 more durable? I wish I knew that if that's true...

I'm also running NT01 and ordered some Pagid yellows RS29s...

I've never used race pads.
Was thinking of swapping for occasional track days.
Are these the best option?
Any issues swapping back and forth with oem pads?

Pretty easy for standard F8x brakes. A Bimmerpost member has a good diy video on the subject

PFC08 are endurance pads and are very durable.

I had Pagid RS29 on my M4 and they were a little clunky going slowly and reversing but performed well at the track.u

The general opinion seems to be that way. Also like ggeezer said, they're an endurance compound which suggests their longevity.
