They have access to everything Zeckhausen and 949 have plus Cobalt Friction, Endless, Project Mu, Pagid, Raybestos

Appreciate the recommendation, I've been having some good conversation with them and just deciding between 3 options. Speed Freaks have been very helpful

Ive been running Raybestos ST43 pads on my stoptech kit all year and love them.

I would give porterfield brakes a call. They stock a large range of compounds (PFC, Porterfield, Hawk, Raybestos) and they offer a NASA and SCCA discount if you have a membership.

What other pads have you tried with the stoptech kit? Ive been curious about some offerings from Raybestos since I hear they last forever. But Ive heard they can be tricky to modulate- most people Ive talked to say they have a very strong initial bite and high levels of friction but are like an on-off switch.

I just put the kit on last year so just the stoptech street pads and the ST43 so far. I ran the ST43 on my OE brake setup and they were far and away the best pad I had used after trying the usual suspects, so I continued using them on the stoptechs to get an apples to apples feel on the brake upgrade.

You're right about the characteristics. They bite hard and if you use them like other pads you will find them hard to control. They just need less pedal pressure for the same response.

Ive been window shopping what compounds to try next. PFC01 is the leader as a next try but they are $80 more a set than the ST43. Got any other recommendations?

PFC01 has been replaced by the PFC11. There is also the PFC08 which will have a little less aggressive initial bite but should last forever. Have you tried the PMU Club Racers? Ill likely be trying out a set of Endless ME20 and N35S for Speed Freaks coming up here since not too many S2000s over here have data on Endless products.
