Question Ceramic or Low Dust Pads

Is there a ceramic or low dust pad available for my 97 993TT fronts? I can get ceramic for the rear but cannot find ceramic pads for my front,

Hmmm, don't you need special material rotors to work appropriately with ceramic pads??

Unfortunately, the general rule of thumb is that the low dust pads give up gripping power. The pads just dont perform as well as their dusty counter-parts... That has been my experience anyways.

Ahhhhh, excellent advice- I did not know that. I was hoping to go with a ceramic pad to cut down on dust but perhaps I will just get back to the Pagid Orange.

Thanks,

Nope! Ceramic Pads are available for OEM metal rotors.
