Brake Pad suggestions - Porsche brakes

[Prawn]

It is time to replace the pads in my Porsche brakes.
Just wondering what pads people would recomend, I currently have the Greenstuff pads, pretty happy with these but open to suggestions.
I do pretty high milage in the car, 2~3K per month and also a number of trackdays.

Pagid are the best pads I had when I had my Porsche.

Cheers Jeff,
Which Pagid compund / type did you use ?
Was this also on trackdays.

The brakes are in the S4 by the way.

The pads where Pagid Blue...They where good on track days as well. I know that it's for an S4 [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] but I don't have the Porsche calipers on an S4 (HiSpec with Ferodo DS2500s). You could also look at the Ferodo DS2000 or 4003.

Not sure of the benefits of the harder pads except that they will last longer at the expense of the disks, possibly have a higher friction coefficient when hot and cost more [img]images/graemlins/roundeyes.gif[/img]

I used standard pads at Castle Combe without any fade and I replaced them from Type 911 for about seventy quid. [img]images/graemlins/jump_clap.gif[/img]

But as I said I haven't tried the harder Pagids so just my twopence worth

Pagid yellow are to harsh for me and my foot [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
i completely wrecked a set of rotors with those, i suggest the Porsche GT2 pad 004, £80 very good value, and easy to get too!

Cheers Guys,
Decided to go the Greenstuff route in the end, £89 so not too much in it on price.
Now fitted and bedding in ready for Castle on the 2nd.

But Paul - you have the Audi brakes don't you - and the Porsche pads are single units and cheaper [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Doh! [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Better get some 'cheap' brakes then [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]
