Do Pagid Blacks (RS14) groove your rotors?
I ask because I have brand new OEM rear rotors, brand new ATE (OEM) calipers, and new Pagid Blacks on the rear of my SC. They were run for a few hours of DE and a club race at the Glen. I alway ran PF97's and the rotor surface was always smooth. My fronts are still PF97 and exhibit no grooving either. I suppose it "could" be buildup (i'll hit it with a 3" scotchbrite pad later) but sure looks like grooves...

Gary - Here is picture of my GT3 rear rotors running Pagis RS14s taken after 16 DE events... i would categorize the grooving as "light"...

I have run both Pagid Yellow and Performance Friction PF97's. They both grove equally to me.

I've run stock, pagid orange, pagid yellow, and pagid black and have noted no difference in the depth of the grooves. Big differences in stopping and dust generation, but not in rotor appearance.

Well, as long as they are in the circumferential direction of the rotor, and not across it, I don't think that you have much to be concerned with.

I was just curious why the Pagids are eating my rotors in strips vs. the PF97s, which seem to wear flat.. seems like the braking efficiency would be better on a flat surface, no?
