Brake Pads for Vintage Formula Ford?

[FilmFX]

I currently race '71 Titan MK VI. I need new brake pads-for both front and rear.
the car has been run with Porterfields, and I have zeroed in on the 535 R4-1 "Vintage Compound" from them.

A fellow racer praised the PFC Girling 14LF 01-now "11" compound and lots of people seem to agree. I'm very interested in giving these a try but...

I also was told and from what I read, if I switch the type of pads, I should buff the rotors or turn them?

Love to get some input from racers as to which type to get and how critical a rotor turn would be if I switch types. I'm not exactly the race engineer/mechanic type so a simple "pad swap" (with a day of test before the next race) is best for me!

Thanks,

I have owned three Titan MK6 FF the Porterfeild vintage pads where always constant and fade free. Other pads I tried did not provide the same results.

I run the "01" and really like them. Not sure if I will go with the "11" when new ones are needed.

I think I would cut the disks if changing brands. I'm sure others with more experience will chime in.

I don't' think the "01" are available anymore. Am I wrong? They say the "11" the same.

I've been using the 01 and 11's on my Mk6 and Mk9 for quite a while now. switched from hawk and porterfield. all that is required is a quick buff of the rotor with a scotchbrite or fine sandpaper disc on an angle grinder. You can even do it by hand but takes a bit more time. I like both compound (very similar) but boy the price just keeps going up. Todd
