Let's re-visit the rotors/pads question.
 
Time for new rotors and pads.

On my heavy S6 with 993TT calipers over Audi S8 rotors (similar in size to the 993TT fronts) I ran Zimmerman slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads, and was very satisified with the overall performance of the system. (Slotted due to one encounter with a puddle and a need for emergency braking on the other side - I nearly soiled myself that time.)

I see no reason to go slotted on my Carrera and can get rotors from our host, so I would like to talk about pad options.

I do not plan on tracking the car, so this is more street/spirited driving. Good initial bite, reasonable rotor wear, low/no noise, easy on the dust - in order of importance.

My HPS pads took a long time to give me no noise. I liked them on all the other parameters.

I did a search, and there is a LOT of information there, but i think I have an idea the Performance Friction, Hawk or Ferodo pads might all be valid choices to satisfy the above conditions.

What do my fellow Pelikaners say?

Why not just "standard" OEM Pads ?? Aren't the choices you mention all "performance pad" builders, more intended for track/DE use ?? I never had problems with my Textar, .....,.... "cheapies" from our host. They worked great for me. Only got a full set of "track pads" when I burned up my cheapie set finally on a very hard on brakes DE track. Those "track" pads are tough on rotors ! Better to get softer pads with good cold bite and low noise and not do a bunch of rotor maintenance imho.

I have used EBC yellows and liked them for the street/DE events on my 79sc.
