PFC Carbon Pads?

Heard some mention of Performance Friction pads on previous posts. Has anyone used PFC Carbon-metallic pads with the stock rotors with any good reports? Local folks here talk nothing but high praises about them performing and being very low on dust.

My other options were using yellow stuff or Raybestos on these blanks. Guess I'm just looking for some good input for this hefty ride as most post I have read refer to pads and rotor combos.

I had Raybestos pads on my blown F150 which worked beautifully. Always had a firm pedal and for a truck on 35's stopped pretty well.

Been nearly 2 decades since I ran PFC CMs on my SHO.  Made a great combo with the Baer rotors.  But I dunno if they have kept up with pad material technology.  Definitely were dusty, not a lot, but noticeably so.

Raybestos police pads might be just the thing for you.  Or the yellowstuff.  Or Carbotech Bobcat.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks SHOdded. I appreciate the feedback. Recently I had the fun of slowing from 130+ and I may say, these stocks pads STINK!. I am really leaning for the yellow stuff pads but also wanted to see what anyone thinks about the Stoptech pads.

I only ask because I will also be road-racing the car occasionally (Not sure i trust the police pads) along with daily driving and drags. I would like to get the best pads with the stock blanks until i invest in the an entire brake system. Thanks again

Update from my experience,

I went with the yellow stuff pads all the way around with R1 concepts Geomet rotors and absolutely love the braking power they provide.

I've been to the Texas Mile where you can go all out for a mile and had to slow the car down from 160+. The yellow stuff pads work freaking awesome in braking but are VERY dusty. After about a week of driving the rims are needing to be cleaned again You kind of have to pick your battle with these.

I chose intense braking. Others will say different.

Seal the rims, make cleanup MUCH easier.

Glad the combo is working out great!!!
