Stoptech BBK Pads
I had a Rotora BBK 6/4 setup previously and recently got rid of it because of it's pad selection. I do a few HDPE/Road Course and Time Attack events and needed a brake setup that would offer more pad selection to see what works best for me. I really wanted the new Stoptech Trophy setup but they were out my price range so I purchase the regular Stoptech 6/4 setup and they came with these pads.
Are these good for my activities or should I be looking for a addition pad setup for those track days.

^I will probably look to change pads before a event since I will be changing to my track wheels so might as well while the wheels are off but wanted to see if these in particular pads could handle any type of track sessions.

The PFC1038 pads you recieved are street/track pads, similar to a Ferodo DS2500 in terms of what they can can handle. Since you are on a 355x32mm setup theres a lot of heat capacity, but it will ultimately be determined by the tires you run, the speeds you are hitting on the straights, and the tracks you drive at.
If you are tracking with R-comps or slicks and hitting speeds over 130MPH on the straights, a full race pad may be better suited

Toyo R888 305/35/18
Toyo RA1 275/35/18
Occasionally I use Pirelli Pzero race slicks in front comparable to 275
I might just top 130mph on the NJMP Thunderbolt Track/Limerock/Pocono's Raceway but doubt I would hit those speeds at Watkins Glen
So what pads would you recommend as the next step up to handle those conditions?

The PFC1038 to StopTech pad would be a parallel swap, they are designed for the same type of use.
For race pads, my recommendations are always PFC01 or Hawk DTC 70.
The rear calipers are ST45s so they have a different pad than our ST40s with somewhat limited pad selection. Id recommend the Brake Horsepower XPS for the rear

Thanks Erik but it seems like Brake Horsepower is out of business.
http://www.bhpbrakes.com/
Am I correct on these FMSI numbers?
ST60 = D1247
ST45 = D609
Thanks for all the help with this Erik
On another note I'm looking at the 2009 catalog and no fmsi number or kit rebuild numbers are available
but if i look at the 2007 catalog there it list all the fmsi numbers and rebuild kit part numbers

PM sent about the pads.
The rebuild kit part numbers were not listed in the HP2009 catalog but all of our distributors will have that info in the price sheets we send them.
