Hawk ceramic pads. John Butler @ 775-689-0381. He seems knowledgeable.

I use the HAWKS Ceramics and will never go back - solved my brake dust issue, daily performance barely distinguishable from OEM. Obviously you would not use them for track/race application but made using the car so much more enjoyable not seeing the red film of break dust just a day or a few miles after washing the car.

Depends on which 992... I've been told there are no compatible sizes for the GTS brakes (unless that has recently changed) so I would assume that also includes the Turbo.

I ordered Hawk ceramic pads for my 992S and have an appointment to get them installed next Monday. Looking forward to having much less brake dust.

The 2021+ 911 Turbo uses the same pads as the 2022+ GTS models.

I changed to EBC Red Stuff for my 2022 C2. No more brake dust.

+1 for EBC red, the perfect solution to minimizing the dust.

HAWK ceramic pads are an excellent option for the 992 as well

Your stopping distances will increase marginally with Ceramic pads and if you do a track day, be sure to switch back to stockers - ceramics go away quickly with heat. But of course, the lack of brake dust is nice. Put a set on my wife's Macan S and she noticed the difference in pad grab, but said she would rather have clean wheels.

We have been selling Hawk pads for over 20 years.

The ceramic pads are good for street use- but not "aggressive" use ie. canyon carving, autocross, etc.

Hawk makes the ceramic compound for the 992 S F/R.

For the base model 992 we have rears- but no fronts. I will see if I can find a suitable substitute.

I assume you mean you have no front for base in stock but they exist. I got them.

Can you expand on the differences between EBC Red and Hawk Ceramic? Looking for new pads for my 4S and not sure which route to go.

I assume that is HB719x.668?

We are updating as we speak to get the catalog squared away for good replacement street pads that are not $600/car set.
