991.1 turbo brake replacement
I’ve been catching up on all the maintenance and I’m finally on to brakes. Currently the market has EBC yellow stuff below $400 for a whole set but I’m not too confident in their product. What set ups have you guys had luck with?

I replaced my 380/380 irons with a set of Racing Brake 410/390 CCM rotors & street pads and a set of OE yellow calipers to replace the factory reds. Stunning brakes though a bit noisy now at low speeds. If you want silence I'd recommend a set of OE pads and live with the dusting.
Interesting pics. BTW, with the wheels still mounted

Unless you track it, I recommend Hawk Ceramic Pads for steel rotors. Much less dust and no squealing.
Not as dust free as PCCB, but so much less dust than stock that you'll be impressed.

I put em on my 991.2 Modified Turbo and am very happy with them.

I went with Girodisc 380s Front/Rear, and then Textar 'OEM' pads for now.
Giros are amazing, and the Textars work fine for daily driving and my local track HPDE events.
I will be throwing on some more track-focused pads when I hit COTA in November, though.
I have 'Big Reds' too and this is a pretty simple and worthwhile upgrade, IMO.

Take a look at Endless MX-72 Plus pads. Have run the older MX-72's on several cars. Closest thing to a Unicorn pad you will find - Great stopping power with excellent modulation, virtually zero dust, and no squeal. The MX-72 Plus has a higher temp range than the old MX-72 so more flexible pad for both street and track use.
