Brake pad selection
 

I am upgrading to S rotors and calipers and need to order front pads. I don't want to spend a ton on the stockers so what are my options for street use?

If it were me, I'd go with the OEM Textar pads. They dust but they work. :)

On pelican they show Porsche or textar? Textar is cheap? Should I just order them?

I've used Textar for street too. Dusty but very good. My tech said to buy them too.

I just put a set of Akebono ceramic pads, front and back for the 986 Boxster S in the classifieds section. Supposedly a very good pad for noise and dust, but I ended up not putting them on because I started doing track days and I'm going with EBC Redstuff.

For some insanely inexpensive/cheap pads, check out the economy pads on rockauto for the Porsche Boxster. Like $13 a set or something :) Centric, I bought the posiquiet ceramic ones for my son's Miata. Haven't put them on yet so no feedback yet.

Textar makes the OE pads for Porsche (and Mercedes, BMW, and others). Great pads, just dusty. When I put new pads on mine, I went with Textar all around. Why pay more for a fancy box and the Porsche part number stamped on it? :) I've been happy with mine.

Textar it is.

I got CBrakes pads and rotors.
They work great in my opinion
