Default Need Brake Pad Recommendation

I have a 997.2 with (yellow) PCCB calipers and GiroDisc slotted steel rotors. I have run both OEM ceramic pads and Pagid Yellows (RS29) and am completely happy with the performance of both. However the yellows are screaming like wounded eagles and driving me crazy and as the car is seeing only street use going forward I'd like to swap out the RS29s. I have been told (but not with 100% assurance) that I can run OEM 996 GT3 pads in the front and 997 Turbo pads in the rear. Good idea? Or switch back to the ceramic pads? Something else? Thanks.

Pagid Blues. Good pads, no scream.

...I had thought of those, but with the PCCB calipers, don't believe Pagid Blues will fit all around. Can't remember if it's the rears that don't fit or the fronts. Thanks.

I got no idea what fits your particular setup, I am super happy with Ferodo 2500 on my steel brakes, and I do use them on both street and track and they are the ONLY pads that I've seen could do double duty... if they make one in your size, I HIGHLY recommend those, I believe Ferodo 2500 is OEM on Lamborghini.

If not, why not just go OEM? Tried, tested and true!
