I'm looking for next set of brake pads. Ideally the PMU Club Racer is the best choice(many of my friends are using that), but the price is a little high and it seems to wear out quicker on the street.

A friend of my who tracks his RX8 recommends me Poterfield r4s for track use. According to his feedback those pads are solid for track use. But when I was searching there are different comments on this pad. Some say it is good, the others say it is a piece of trash for track, and fades easily.

Or I can just buy another set of HC800.

Just want to know if there is anyone running these pads on their FRS/BRZ for track/street duty. Thanks
I had a similar issue with my PMU HC+800's wearing out after 4 track days. I never really liked them to be honest. There are much better pads out there for track use. I switched to Carbotech XP10's and they've been a big improvement. I would recommend Carbotech XP10 or XP12, or PMU CR's as Mike recommends.

One warning - it was after I switched to XP10's that I started melting my stock brake piston seals. The pads can take a good amount of heat, but you may start to find weak links elsewhere in the stock brake system.
