Dave, they may be worth a try.
May give you a few tenths.
Not expensive.
Also try some good brake fluid.
It has transformed the brakes on my car.
50% better over stock.
Worth thinking about mate.

Brake fluid - check - though old now...

Pads.. Not really the issue as evidenced with the cording of the past tires.. If anything, I'm braking too hard. For AX, the stock 911 brakes are more than enough. It's the driver, Vas.

I appreciate the help, I really do. In it's current configuration, the car can perform a lot better in the right hands. I tend to jump the gun and get fixated on certain "fixes", but in the end I listen to the right people and make adjustments to the car accordingly.

Ok, mate.
Improving the brakes is the most important thing you can do.
I will now let it go and shut up.

Found you a woman!

Um, no... Too controlling. Not a fan of the costumes based on the zodiac.

Do I need to come drive your car?

Just going off of the principal that you are always faster in someone elses car....

But seriously... You have a coupe, quite stiff..

The Targa, not so much. It's a different beast. The changes to my car are within line with the Targa.

You forget how tail happy my car is now dave... I'm getting pretty used to keeping ends from trading...

I'm sure it would take me time to learn the nuances of the 911.... But like I said, always faster in a car you aren't the owner of....
