Hi Ciao, Haven’t had a chance to take the car out since the brake job but based on the research I did, your assessment seems correct. Because I don’t AX or track the 986 (my kart racing takes care of that bug) my priorities are low noise, low dust, minimal fade with capable stopping ability for our (sometimes spirited) 2 lane mountain road cruising. Hopefully the Akebonos will hit the mark. I’ll keep you posted after I put some miles on them.
