I run Race Technologies RE10's on both my 991.2 GT3 and 991.2 GT3 RS. Once in a while they get noisy on the street (not sure what the trigger is), then I just go to the track and the noise goes away. I run GiroDisc rotors and prefer the RE10's over DS1.11's any day.

I had them on my car last track season, they are still there with maybe 2 DE's left in them. I have Giro's. No noise whatsoever. The only thing that I have noticed as compared to PAGID's is that they don't work well until they are hot. Not an issue for the track, but I got lazy and use them in the street for about 200 miles per year and they don't bite when cold. The MFG indicates that they will breakdown prematurely when not at operating temperature. Personally, I think they are great on track and have noticed they last longer than the Pagid's and are easier on the rotors after only one season. I definitely recommend trying them. My driving has to get a lot better before I will even think about a change to a more aggressive pad. Downside, they are not cheap!

They dust like crazy on the street, so if you're paranoid about clean wheels . . . just sayin'.

What rotors were you using?

I am using Girodisc rotors paired with OEM yellow calipers and RE-10 pads. Great set up for the track, haven't even had to replace my discs yet (might need to do so after 3-4 more events). Great economical set-up for track use! I'm sure there are better and more expensive brake kits out there but for my DE needs, I doubt I'll notice the 2-5% difference in performance from a more expensive brake kit. My PCCB rotors are stored away for when I revert the car back to 100% street use. Hope this helps...

Can someone help me to understand something and troubleshoot? I bought RE10 pads for my 991.2 Targa GTS and put them on stock rotors that had already went through a set of stock pads. The fronts dont make any serious noise. However, the rears are loud. I did the bed in procedure that Race Technologies sent with pads. There was still, if not more, lots of noise on partial braking. I also did a heavily spirited run with lots of breaking, did not help aftward, sound actually increased. The noise is pretty ridiculous, especially coming to a stop. However, they do it with light braking in the 30-70 mph range sometimes as well. I started this thread to see if anyone was running on stock rotors, which no one claimed to be. So, I felt good about the noise possibly going away with my new rotors I had coming. I got my set of AP Racing rotors for the 991.2 GTS this Friday. I knew it was kinda a long shot, but I thought there was a chance. Well, sound started within first day of driving. It perplexes me since there is no reported real noise from GT3, GT4 guys and no noise from my fronts. So, I took the centerlocks off again a few more times trying to solve the issue. The noise sounded like the noise from the rattle clips rubbing the back of pad, so I greased them and even filed down part of the area that showed signs of lots of rubbing. Then I realized there is noise from pad backing holes rubbing on guide pin, so I greased them as well. None of this accomplished anything. There is no shim on the back of the RE10s and havent tried to make on for it yet. What components in the rears of 991.2 GTS vs rears of GT3 of GT4 could cause such a variation? Anyone have any ideas? Am I going to have to resort to buying another set of stock pads and swapping pads and rotors before track events?
