Default Pagid Brake Pad Advice

Anyone have a recommendation for a source for Pagid pad and someone knowledgeable to help make a selection?

I've tried Competition Motorsports and Rennstore for days, but sadly neither will answer their phones.

Thanks, no answer there, either.

Maybe everyone is taking the whole week off for the holidays.

Yup, second for Clark @ Apex, awesome support and supplier to Rennlist.

Plus, use "rennlist-10" code for 10% off most stuff, and special 20% off $200+ gift certificates right now through Dec. 1.

No affiliation, just a happy customer.

PS I like RS19's over RS29's, if you're going yellows, for their wear and feel.

I've had excellent experience with Apex, you might want to check their offering of PFC pads.

As far as pad selection - I highly recommend yellow in front and black for the rear. This setup offers the best balance in the 996 GT3 imho

I just installed Yellow front/Black rear pagids and I really love them. Will leave in place full time.

Why PFC's and would you leave them on full time?

Pfc 08 all time. No squeak. More pedal feel.

Thanks MK, good to know. I am running Padgid yellow/black and am starting to get a little squeek. Good initial bite though...
