FREE.....front and rear brake pads
Just trying out different pads. Complete set of Mintex brake pads from my 95 993 with about 50 miles of use. Don't ask if they fit your year 993 or not because I don't know. Good braking, low dusting, and no squeaking. Just pay for shipping and they're yours

This is nothing in return for what I've learned from this great community, good and bad.
So far, I've used Textar, Mintex, and now running on Posiquiet. I had these on the bimmer and like them a lot. Still too early to post an opinion. For my weekend and leisure uses, these pads feel great.

Street Use Brake Pad - no autoX, no HPDE

I'm resurrecting a post from the dead after reading through a bazillion posts tonight on street-use pads with less dust.
Are you still a fan of the Centric Posiquiets for Street Use? (No Auto-X, No HPDE). The OE Porsche pads are killing me, especially with the 3 Pc Tramont Cups. Every drive results in 1 hour of wheel cleaning time, especially around the wheel bolts. I have the gain control of my q-tip budget.
Also --- it seems that the posiquiets are avail in two flavors - are you using Posiquiet EXTENDED WEAR or Posiquiet Ceramics?
I read what seems to be a million threads tonight on lower-dust brake pad options. I seem to have gathered the following info -
- Mintex Red Box --- pretty good, moderately low dust, recommended by Steve W for street use. You also used before.
- Porterfield R4S --- as well, quite good, low dust.
- Hawk HPS Ferro Carbon --- low dust, compromise compound for street / auto-X. Big $$$$ if used for street
- Hawk Ceramic --- lots of folks like them, lots of folks say they suck with the first 2 cold stops. Several folks say the dust is not as low as they had hoped.
- EBC Green - junk.
I was hoping you could give us a view into your views on street-use pads.
Note --- I'm thinking about pads again after I put Akebono pads (again, street use) on my 500E. Man those things are gold! Fine street performance, and seemingly zero dust. Super quiet. Unfortunately these are not avail for 993 fitments....

Hi- It's been a few years since I had the Posi on a 993. They were absolutely fine for street use, meaning Sunday/weekend drives. They provided good braking performance and very low dusting. Their only down side, if you can call it that was the initial bite. It was 9/10 of the OEM/Textar pads.
IIRC, the Posiquiet Ceramics are ceramic, duh. The Extended Wear pads are semi metallic. I had the Ceramic ones. So I do recommend them if no DE or AX. Oh, BTW, I ran them without the spiders, and had no issues with squeaky brakes.
