My GT3RS has the stock rotors and pads. I’m doing a track day in a few weeks and wondering what others are using and trying to decide what route I want to take.

I’m not necessarily afraid to wear out the PCCB rotors as I would probably just replace with surface transforms when that happened. If I go that route, what pads would you recommend I use with the PCCB rotors that would give both good track and street performance?

On the other hand, if I decide to go with aftermarket brakes, what would give me equal, if not better performance? The PFC system looks nice and is one I was looking at.

Stock pads work great with PCCBs. No reason to try anything else.

I also would say just run the PCCBs unless you are running ten days a year or more and/or you are not a smooth driver and the nanny lights are coming on all the time.

Even then the PCCBs would be hard to give up

Use only the Pagid RSC1 pads or you will toast your rotors and overheat your ceramic caliper pucks.

I've been using Endless pads for 5-6 years on my Carrera GT and also 991.1RS and more recently 991.2 GT3 Touring.

For anyone that tracks the cars, these are a far better solution to OEM. Not only are they less harmful to the PCCB rotor, but they last way, way longer without any tapering of the pad. I've done 20 track days on a set. Much better pedal feel (firmer) easier modulation, no downside apart from the price! From Endless :

CCD-A

FOR CCM DISCS
OEM Brake pads for Carbon ceramic discs has been deemed to have certain weakpoints in pad wear and temperature resistance. The CCD-A was born from the CCD-R, and can be used for both street and circuit use. This pad has good heat resistance, pad wear, anti-fade characteristics and pedal feeling. This pad requires the use of OEM anti-noise shims.

thanks very informative. So you running the CCD-A pad?

Where do you find the CCD-A pads? I can’t find them for sale online. I can get the Pagids though.

I see Northstar Motorsports carries endless pads. I may give them a call.

I don’t see CCD-A specifically listed. They list a bunch of different compounds and not sure what to pick.

On both 991.2 GT3 Touring and prior to that 991.1 GT3RS, and the predecessor to CCD-A on my CGT.

CCD-A is what Endless suggest for ceramic rotors for street and track use.

Do you know if they have any American distributors? Edit: Spoke to John at Northstar who told me he would have to call Endless in Cali to see if they have any imported and available for the 991.2 RS, supposed to call me back Monday.

Nizer

Anyone know what pads Manthey supplies with their MR kit?

RS Clubsport

They are made by Pagid don’t know more than that.

Also worth noting on the Endless in the UK at least the distributor offers 20% discount on RRP.

Stealth 993

Looks like this place has the Endless pads

It's $1900 for a full set! That is double the price of the OEM pads. How much longer do they last, and how much easier are they on the rotors?

@SpeedFreaksUSA is a master distributor (reply is mostly via PM). Sponsor here for nearly a decade, mostly on the technical side for answering questions. Each chassis since the 997 is actually at the facility and product is tested by staff (you should visit the facility in Illinois at some point... it's wall to wall 60k square feet of every car, every generation formatted into track use).
