I can't wait to try them at Trembant and Mosport, where the speeds are higher.
I'll report back after I have more track time on them, but so far, big thumbs up.

I've not used RS19s though, so can't compare directly.

I am running RS19s on PCCBs. They seem to work fine (so far) and bedded in nicely.
I had forgotten how loud the PCCB discs sound when braking. It is like a saw almost.
Also, having driven the car back to back with PCCB and without (AGAIN), I still think the weight is the primary difference between the two. I can not tell an improvement in either pedal feel or performance.
The weight difference is very obvious in the way car feels (light) and IMHO accelerates quicker too.

i put pagid rs19 on my 997s w/o vibration dampers (pads were too thick). car screamed, squealed at the slightest touch of brake pedal. after a couple of track days i installed the front dampers. squeal is completely gone.

I wonder how many heed the warning from Pagid about avoiding contamination of the disc surface by renewing pads on old discs without going over the disc surface with emery cloth to remove previous pad residue.
If you are swapping pads around most Pagids are compatible so should not be an issue but if you are swapping back to stock or another manufacturer your brake performance, according to Pagid, is compromised.

The Pagids are compatible with the OEM pads on the GT3.
