reasonable advice. i personally didn't like the torque curves w/ OEM pads on the base boxster. they required more pedal effort than i thought it should have taken to stop the car. with the S brakes, this isn't such an issue.

on another note, keep in mind that the 'Satisfied OEM' pads are NOT OEM pads. OEM are Textar or Brembo (both are really Textar) up front and Textar, Galfer or Brembo in back.
