LOL. Well, I did like the 19's a bit more, even though it was a much hotter day today than last event with the 29's. they felt more solid and were there every time. I just remembered, I got a soft pedal with the 29's after several hot laps, but they still grabbed. No such issue with the 19's. I think I will stick with the 19s for now. Tim

P.S. I did notice on the way home that i was getting a lot of pad chatter.....mostly at 85+. A little tap on the brakes and it would go away for about 10 seconds. I was thinking knock-back, but maybe I got another issue. I am going to rip the brakes apart tomorrow and examine. I did notice that the pads were basically WHITE though. I think I cooked them pretty good today. hah.

I use "Oranges" as my everyday and track pads on my Boxster. They work great for both (cold braking power is actually quite good). I have not had any problems and the brake squeel is actually very minimal on my car.

Good luck!!

On Friday, I swapped my street wheels for my Forgelines, and took the GT3 out for a ride with the Oranges in place. I will be putting in the OE Yellows today. The squeal with the Oranges is far too annoying.
