When you’re restoring or racing a classic Porsche 911 (circa 1978‑83) and want more from the front brakes than the stock pad, the PFC Brakes 08 Compound front pad set (part number 0045.08.15.44) is a smart choice. This endurance‐oriented compound is engineered to deliver refined engagement, strong repeatability across heavy use and minimal wear on the rotors and calipers—making it ideal for high seat‑time events, vintage track days or well‑used club machines.
The 08 Compound is designed with a slightly rising friction curve as temperature climbs, excellent release characteristics and one of the lowest pad/rotor wear rates in the PFC lineup. That means less frequent pad changes, fewer rotor re‑cuts and more time driving. For classic Porsche front calipers, you’ll benefit from better driver feedback, more confidence under braking and the ability to push harder without compromising your vintage hardware.
To ensure the best fit and performance, make sure the calipers are rebuilt or in good condition, the rotors are within spec and you follow PFC’s proper pad bedding procedure. Whether you’re participating in a vintage race, upgrading your track toy or simply improving the brake feel of your restored 911, these front pads bring modern endurance performance to a classic platform.
