Do they make a fit for 'S' / 996 (red) brakes

ST-43 is a phenomenal race pad and I have used them for 10 years now. I typically get 8k miles including 20 track days on the fronts, maybe more. Better heat management, modulation and life than RS-29s on my car. They can be custom-cut to any Porsche brake system at Porterfield in Costa Mesa.

Downside: They are designed for very high temps on a track and squeal like a school bus when cold on the street. I don't recommend them unless you hit the track a lot and need all the heat management you can get. Complete overkill for a DD or AX car.
