Default Brake Pads

What is the difference between the Stock "Yellow" pads that come with the GT3 and the Pagid Pads RS19 Yellow pads or are these one in the same?

Also, please provide part numbers and a suggestion for the vendor to purchase front and rear pads.

Huge difference. The stock ones are street pads, and the RS-19s are ceramic impregnated endurance racing pads, arguably the best you can get for the track. Do a search on this forum. It has been reviewed many times.

the oem yellow and pagid yellow RS19 have NOTHING in common.
if you only do street driving, OEM is fine.
if you do any track work, ditch that and get RS19 or some ppl use RS29's (never used those myself, i only use RS19 or RS44, orange)

Good. Looks like the only thing in common is the Yellow. I am glad to hear when I go to the RS19's I will get a much better pad for DE schools - I do at least 10 DE schools / year.

The prices are high compared to what I used to pay for my 996 Turbo. Are the part #'s below correct and these prices reasonable?
Pagid RS19 - Item Number : PA-U2707RS19, Unit Price: $371.00 Front, Item Number : PA-U2405RS19, Unit Price: $277.00. Thanks, Rodney

I'm running RS29s, although a lot of people here have tried to put me off them. Apparently too grabby, but I like them as they don't feel massively different to my ceramics. They are a lot more popular in the UK.

Anyway best prices I've ever seen are from http://rennstore.com/ . Craig is very helpful, although he'll urge you away from 29s

Rodney bear in mind these are race pads, so can be noisy/squealy and don't have much bite when cold (takes a few corners on track to get them going). They'll last a lot longer.
