Brake Pad Questions

thanks for the info on the Textar, Galfer and Brembo's, does anyone have any idea who has the best prices on any of these pads?

i like ebsracing.com. the textar are a bit pricey. personally, if i wanted an OEM type pad at a better price, i'd go with the Pagid or PBR metal master. they'll save you $35 over the textar. i've used the mintex (cheapest); they're not bad, but i personally don't prefer them. the PBR metal master are really quite good.

although all pads make dust, my personal experience is that the OEM pads make the most. i think the PBR metal masters make the least dust on an OEM feel pad.

Paragon Products out of TX has some of the best pricing for brake parts - http://www.********************************************************************.com/SearchResults.asp .

That's where I bought mine after some fairly thorough searching. I went with OEM, but they offer many alternatives too. Good outfit to do biz with, good pricing, prompt shipment. One of many good suppliers I'm sure, but I've had several positive experiences with them over the years

Replace them yourself. Porsche is one of the easiest brake jobs in the world.

My personal favorite pads are Mintex Red Box. Quiet, good grip, low heat fade and don't chew the rotors up.
