Garage List
As an alternate, these guys will cut a pad set out of PFC material if they can get a stock pattern. They did that for Brembo 6 piston monoblocks.

They'll also do it from Porterfield material but PFC seems to be more highly regarded among hardcore trackies.

Hopefully Pagid will make a pad soon.

Good luck, let us know what you find if anything.

I have used the Porterfeilds before with good success,but I really wanted to use the "Factory" pads because of the cost the rotors(about $2000 CDN) in the hope that they would be much more rotor friendly to get some life out of the rotors.I checked with Pagid and they also have nothing available as of yet.I still do not have my tires so I guess a little waiting will not kill me.
