hi
have a 1995 993 track car only
what brake pads do you run at the track
i have stock brakes solid rotors the car weights 2700 lbs
was running performance fiction pads
0447.08.17.44 front 7725.08.18.44 rear
they work great no fade
the problem is they have a lot of metal in them
they are rising problems with my bbs wheels
so if they get wet or damp
and i don't wipe them down at the end of the day
they start to etch and rust the wheel
thanks don

Don:
Try the Pagid RS29 front and rear. Part numbers are U1204 RS29 front and U1203 RS29 rear. Will squeal if you drive the car on the street but won't have issues with the dust marking up your BBS wheels. They are also pretty easy on rotors.

I used to use Hawk HT-10s and loved them. Used to use Hawk Blues and ditched them due to the corrosion issue you are experiencing.

That said, Mark at OG knows his stuff.

had great results with hawk dtc-70's, not experience with the new 80's

As above, Pagid Yellow is the standard, I run them now on my GT3. They're an endurance pad, easy on rotors and wheels...

See below for a set for sale, 1204 fronts, can't go wrong.

I agree w/ you about the PFCs, they are a better track pad but there are also the negatives you mention.

I'll continue to use PFC for track
but
If I wanted one set for both tack and street, Pagid RS29 are hard to beat, They may have renamed these RSL29 and there are some other similar Pagid endurance options

Started with Hawk products years ago, made the switch to PFC and haven't looked back. Use PFC pads on both the 993 and SpecE46.

Let me help you get the economy moving even more...here is all it takes:
1. Swap out the 993 calipers, front and rear for 993 Turbo brakes, aka Big Reds, you can use 928 front calipers with a little plumbing change, rerouting the lines,
2. Invest in GIRO, or another brand of 2 piece slotted rotors for the front, a mere $1,200, and standard Turbo rotors for the rear. When it is time to change out rotors, you need only buy the rotors, not the hats, $800 a set. Note these are sometimes discounted if you look long and hard, maybe 15%?
3. Get a set of Pagid Yellow for the front, and Pagid Blacks for the year, seldom if ever discounted***
4. Flush the old brake fluid out with fresh new, using the factory Porsche computer to flush all the old fluid out of the ABS.

***These pads are pretty much all I have used for 10+ years. As the story goes, they need to be warmed up to work on the street, track too, just a few stabs on the out lap will do the trick. And in the final analysis, just do what Bill Verburg recommends. He has Big Red front calipers and 993 RS rear calipers...they have slightly larger pistons for more leverage.

I have now placed an order for Pagid RS29 based on 1 hour of search on Rennlist :-) Very good advice from many and as usual from Mr Verburg!

I drive my street 993 "R" on 6-10 trackdays per year. I use my 993 60% street and 40% track.
My 993 has a Supercup engine (320 hp) and 993 RS brakes F&R and R tires (Michelin Cup 2). Have genuine Porsche pads now and Castrol SRF. Has worked OK both on raod and track. I am now hoping for even more performance with the Pagid RS29.
Will get back with a report after this summer.
