The best brake pads and rotors!!!
I have read several posts about the subject but still need some clarity. Do CS's and CTT's come with Pagit pads and Brembo rotors from the factory? If not, what do they come with and what do dealers typically use as replacement parts?
I need to replace both the front and rear brakes on my CS and I'm a fairly aggressive driver; what kind of pads and rotors are best? I know there has been a lot of discussion about brake dust, but that is not a primary issue for me.

The rotors are oem branded Brembo, I have a set of Zimmerman drilled replacements ready to go.
The pads are also Brembo but Pagid also do them.
The pads are an easy change. Need some heavy wrenches for the rotors which are basically held on with one bolt. The calipers use 2 bolts. Some pictures are on my gallery.

Is there a difference and/or advantage of Brembo pads vs. Pagid pads?
Lastly, of all of the many options out there, what is the best combo?

the zimmermanns are slotted and have better cooling properties... hard to say since i haven't tracked a cayenne properly but we've already done a few kits...

I would suggest sending a PM to rennlist member (996TT and Cayenne forum member) tkerrmd
He has tracked the wheels off his Cayenne and has done the brake thing already.

If you need the best brakes for your pepper get the brakes from the power kit. These are the best performance wise.
If your local dealer cant get them for you try carnewal. http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p55047.htm
