I did a search of the 20 pages with the term "brake pads" and really just want to know what would be some good moderately priced choices for an everyday driver 87. Not racing, just stop me from running into people who pull out in front and big dogs, never mind the cats. (sorry, I would never intentionally run over an animal.)
Thanks

I've had great luck calling my 928 parts vendor and letting them make a recommendation. Of course, I have 50k on the 'new' pads and they are maybe half used, so I don't tax the stopping capacity much. Must be getting old... Oh, PBR Metal Masters if it makes a difference. Low noise, low dust, good stopping once they warm up just a tiny bit.

So far, I am really happy with my EBC Yellow pads. The work on the first stop leaving my neighborhood and can take the heat of a track day with zero fade. Took about 200 miles to for them to bed in newly turned rotors and haven't squeaked since.

PBR's on my daily driver and zero issues. Got them from Roger at 928srus, and were at the bottom end of the price range. Very low dust which is very nice. No noise issues at all.

I haven't needed to do anything since I installed them. No squeeks at all. I do have the factory backing pads on so the brake pad pulls free of the rotor on pedal-up. I just try not to push on the wide pedal much, since it seems to affect gas mileage at least as much as the skinny pedal does.

PBR's are hard to beat at less than $30 an axle set.

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?
