So I did some searching and I couldn't find to much feedback on pad options for the C43 BBK. It's my first BBK and it came with street pads and I'm looking for some race pads. Can anyone chime in on what they got and where they got them? Some track input on the pad would be great as well!

its a dr21 pad shape
almost every pad compound you can think of comes in that size

here are some

What tires are you running, and how much will the car see the street versus track?

255 squared RS4's. Its not a daily, its about 50/50 between track and weekend spirited drives. After doing some more searching I found Porterfield R4 and Raybestos ST43 in the DR21 pad shape. I ran the porterfields on my stock brakes and I liked them. Trying to decide between the two. Price is very similar too.

I really enjoy Raybestos offerings when paired with 200UTQG tires, been running ST47s on my Time Attack WRX for years, and am planning on trying 43s when I go BBK on my AP1 soon.

The ST47 on paper looks promising, any reason why you want to try the 43 over the 47?

My AP1 makes 191.1whp and has no aero, my WRX made 600whp and had a 5" splitter and a large chassis mounted Kognition wing. I just don't have any experience with either compound on this chassis, so wanted to start slightly less aggressive until I can figure out what my end goal is.

Makes sense! It appears to be a more aggressive pad. Thanks for the help everyone, I'm going to give the Raybestos ST43 a try. Found the correct part numbers and plenty of suppliers for them.
