want opinions on 996tt front pads

[thabaer]

I finally have a question and it belongs in one 'o them furrin forums:

996tt pad query in 964/993/996 land

But knowing how may wild animals are here, I thought some of you might be running 996tt calipers up front. A recent happening has tripled the OEM pad cost and I am trolling for info on behalf of a herd of brake-nuts (including me).

Any recommendations, anecdotes, opinions on alternates for the street ?? Pagid black and blue (oranges are probably not quite right), other brands ?

TIA

Dont laugh, but for the street I used a set from AutoZone. (parts house) They were @ 65.00 a set and are guaranteed for life. I actually used them on a track day just to see how long they would last, and they held up surprisingly well. No complaints with them at all. I do use Pagid oranges for most DEs though.
