Any reason for choosing the ST43 over the ST47 or ST45? According to the Raybestos compound sheet below, this is what they say about the ST47:
"If you are looking for the most advanced performing road race brake pad, that will simply out perform all the rest, this is it."
Sounds like the winner to me. ;) Note that all Raybestos compounds look to cost the same for our cars so price should is not a deciding factor.

Have run both ST47 and ST43 on my GT500. They both wear exceptionally well and both treat rotors amazingly well (much better than PFCs in fact). Like CSL said, ST43 has smoother engagement, which leads to easier modulation. ST47 has absolutely incredible bite, but also great modulation for me, easier to modulate than any of the PFCs I've tried or the DSUNO. ST47 has a rock solid pedal feel, better than any pad I've tried. At least that's how it felt in a 2 ton pig.
