Default First brake warning

I have always been ahead of my brakes but after some spirited driving yesterday, I got my first brake pads warning light. After being happy that the system is still operational, I hereby venture to ask this population what pads and sensors they would suggest for replacement...

Im very happy with the OE pads...they dust some, but the cold and hot feel on these really impress me.

For pure street cars, I use 100% OE Textar pads, also.
Don't buy them from Porsche. Buy them from one of the big parts suppliers (which I am one of.)
Big markup for the Porsche box....

I drive EBC yellow stuff pads on mine. A lot of dust but superb stopping power, it´s the choice from my 928 shop here.

Default Cool.

GregBBRD set me up with a full set for my 84, please. Do you carry sensors also?

I don't know how many people actually use pad wear sensors, but after getting a couple of false alerts I shorted mine on purpose.
