Would really like to know this as well. Have been looking for half a year and no full set of ceramic brake pads for a 992 S. I've seen some for a base Carrera though. On my M3, I have found that switching to ceramic brake pads cuts down brake dust by 95%+ and has no negative effects at all on braking, noise, brake feel, and actually lasts longer than organic brake pads. Still looking for a ceramic brake pad option for 992 S if anybody knows of one.

Unfortunately, no pad can fully satisfy the requirements for both street and track duty. Here’s a chart showing brake pad friction vs temp for several compound options.
I really like Ferodo DS3.12 as they are fantastic on the track, and seem to be a bit quieter than DS1.11 on the street. However, they do make noise and not a good option for only occasional track duty with no access to a garage. For your use I’d recommend Ferodo DS2500. I used these when I first started tracking, great on the street, okay on the track for beginner levels.

What are the OEMs? Are they Brembo, TRW or Textar?
$373 sounds outrageous for a set of pads. I'm sure I'll be looking to FCP Euro for replacements when the time comes.
The Brembo front brakes are super easy to swap out if all you're doing is a pad slap. The rears you need to set the E brake in service mode. Not sure how to do that yet on this car.
