Hahaha!

I got ceramic pads for all 4 wheels from Rock Auto for about $25 shipped. I don't even remember the brand name. Yep, I was scared at what would show up, but they've been amazing so far. I don't track, but I do get rough with her and she's got plenty of stopping power. 1200 miles later and I see just a faint hint of brake dust on the wheels. Definitely better than what was on there (stock Brembo).

Don't laugh at me

Thats how I feel. I wanna try the less expensive stuff but I feel like Im breaking some sort of porsche owners rules. If you did the work yourself even if you had to redo it every year its still worth $25

Jimmy and Particlewave,

Could you kindly post links to the rotors and pads that you have talked about? It would be helpful to see. I need to go measure my rotors and check my pads to see if I need t change any of them. However the information might be useful to others on the forum. I too am not too fond of spending more money for OEM stuff so far as I get the bang for my buck...

Thanks.
