Quick Question about brake pads?
Which brands do you guys recommend for street driving? Is there one particular set that squeals less than others? How about brake fade? I know you can buy Cool Carbon and other racing pads for hundreds of dollars - are these worth it?
Looking for opinions, many thanks. |

Street car, for street braking, I'd go OEM.

Yes, OEM from Porsche (or our host) is the way to go.
Cheers

I can't say I have a specific recommendation, but yes, any of the OEM brands that we sell would be good solutions. In my mind, they are all about comparable.

Depends on how you use the car and then your tolerance.
If only street use-Then stock street pads. If light DE then maybe Pagid Blues w/ a little more bite with few complaints of squeal. Go much more aggressive than that, then harder compound will give you squeal. |
