987 front brake pads in 986S

[jimk04]

I have been researching brake pads and although I would really like some Pagid RS black or yellow or blue for that matter, the price is a bit restrictive for me.

I have read in a few areas about fitting OEM Cayman R pads as they have a bit more bite than more base spec cars.

My question is that when I look at the specs of the pads, I often see 987 pads listed separately to 986 pads but the same front discs is listed. But from some vendors they list all 986 and 987 the same pad.

Any thoughts or experience?


I dont want an unswept area of disc going rusty if the 987 pads leave me 4mm short!
