Clark at Apex has them. I used them and they are a great street/track pad but they didn't last long with a lot of track use so I went to the Ferodo 1.1. More of a track pad but still works fine for me for occasional street driving.

Sometimes they squeel after track sessions for a while but that's the only downside. It's a bit surprising very few use these on Porsches, somehow it MUST be German Pagid pads but they do NOT offer a track/street pad whatsoever for our cars and are much more expensive. Look up Ferodo's next time you're in the market.
X2 for the Ferodo 2500's. Ran them on my 997.1 and was very happy with the performance. The only downside is I could not use the brake pad wear sensors - had to tie those out of the way. Not a big deal as you can easily view the pads for wear.

For my 4-5 track days a year they worked fine and lasted, if you do more, then track pads are probably best.

True, but if one has to rely on the pad wear sensors to change pads, shouldn't own a 911!
