Total production.
As you know there is debate as to wether it's 500 or 750. The level of allocations seems to support the 500 number.
I also think I heard that the 04 year may be a short production year with the 997 being an early production 05, just like the 01 turbo.

Yup the pads are Pagid Yellow with P90-2 stamped on the rears for sure. I looked at the fronts and couldn't see a stamp. Didn't have time to pull them out but I'd bet they are P90's.
Since they are Pagid's, hopefully they will be available through some aftermarket sources and not just dealers. $350 per set seems pretty steep.

Viken...
Can you elaborate on the GT-3 seat equation?
Is there something specific about the design or structure of the seat that would cause the liability?
Since I have the seats I often wondered what the deal was? Is the seat basically "safe"?
Do they have different criteria in Europe? If so, is it more stringent?
TIA

Are these P90-2 yellows the same compound as the RS-19 yellow or something different? I wouldn't think Porsche would use RS-19 on a street car, but I can't find info on any other yellow pad from Pagid.
Also, have you found a source for the tires? Tirerack lists the model but not the proper sizes.

BTW, this is typical with most manufacturers doing business in the US.

I've had the GT2/3 steel rotors with P90 pads for over a year now. This must be a new part number, from the info I could gather from the new owners of GT3 with steel rotors, they have the same P90 pads

I don't see a comfort version front PCCB pad.
