Brake Pads for DE
What brand/compound pads have folks had good luck with for DE use on 997.1 turbos (steels, not ceramics)?

Pagid yellow
19 or 29 for more initial bite
These are endurance pads! Perfect for keeping their levels of performance at high temps
I ran a cheap set of stoptech street pads and fried them on one trip to the canyon roads. On the track they were useless after two laps

Are you a beginner? If yes, you might be fine with your OEM pad and fresh fluid. For brake fluid, I would suggest Endless, SRF or Brembo HTC64.
I've used PFC01/11/08 - all good pads but they're a bit tough on rotors (i.e. you develop cracks after a weekend or two of use, but they stop every single time). I've since switched to Ferodo DS111 - I'm very happy with them and much easier on rotors and they stop every single time.

I rate the Pagid RSL1's. Great feel, last longer than I thought possible, really kind on rotors.

Since you are already familiar with how the Pagid Yellows work on the track and were happy with them, then I would stick with them. They will work fine on a 997TT. What tires will you be running on the 997TT. The Yellows will work fine from a sticky street tire like and MPSC up through a Hoosier R7.
Kind regards,

PFC 08 have a less sharp initial bite than the Ferodo DS1.1, easier to threshold brake without engaging ABS. Currently running PFC08 on the front, and DS1.1 on the rear on cheab sebro drilled rotors. Both hold up to temps very well.
