Brembo Type III info
Guys - I need some help here.
My 997.2 GT3 came from the previous owner with front Brembo Type IIIs.
Questions:
1) does this setup take pagid R29 Yellows “unmodified” or do they need to be ground?
2) what does the disc and hardware replacement cost?
3) Brembo vs Girodisc, is Brembo worth the extra money?
thank you in advance

Brembo type 3 and 5 are longest lasting rotors I’ve run. Type 5 are hd slotted. You can run with your hats.
The pads may need the inner annulus narrowed just a bit.
Although yellows are hard on rotors. Pagid has newer compounds out and race technologies re10 are an endurance pad with great life.

Which pads are same/better braking performance and less hard to the rotors than RS29 ?
Anyone tried stock Cup pads ?

I tried factory rotors, they wear out stupid fast. rings/hardware in type 5 are less expensive last time I bought than type 3. I want to say $800 for fronts pair, something like that.
I had yellows on my car a long time ago, decent bite but they tore the hell out of my rotors compared to RE10. You can also look into endless MA45B, ME20, etc.
I've also run PFC08 and on those I had to take a little off the inner radius of the metal backing plate. PFC08 are hard on rotors. My experience.

It's funny my experience with Type III's is quite different than Spyerx's. I thought they were the softest thing ever. With Rs29's they lasted me a whole 6-7 days of general DE lapping use. They do have that reassuring great initial bite.

That's my experience with RS29s on other rotors, beat them up. They seem to put a lot of heat into the rotors. Other pads from RT, Endless, etc I had much better longevity.

I am surprised you guys find the RS29 hard on the equipment. I have had awful experiences with PFC that turned my calipers purple and chewed up my rotors. RS29s are designed to be gentler. Truth be told I have never tried Endless pads. The Brembos are registering 33.7 thickness and no sign of cracking after multiple track weekends so I am happy.

RS29's keeps the heat in the rotors. Whereas PFC's transfer more heat into the calipers from its high metallic content. I can't get more than 8 days out of Type III's on either pad. Maybe I just brake too much. Laguna Seca also chews up brakes.

RSL1 or RSL2 better longevity? and less hard to the rotors?
Anyone tried vs RS29?

The best longevity I have had on braking equipment with good performance is with:
Type 5 rotors (type 3 a little less live)
Race Technologies RE10 pads
Endless MA45B are similar
I'm trying a new compound now and on street they have a bit more bite than RE10, will see about on track performance.
Some others in the 991 forum have had good luck with the Ferodo DS1.11 pads, they seem to have good performance and easy on the calipers/rotors, but life seems to be less than RE10, maybe a touch more bite.
Oldskews4 - what tires do you run? The RE10 are really good for R compound, but if you're using hoosiers or slicks you'll probably find bite not there (they are an endurance pad, and run on race cars for endurance races). The Endless ME20 has more bite and good longevity, USCTrojan runs these on his GT4 and he's very much at the pointy end of lap times at the tracks here in SoCal. Quick.
Anyway, braking feel is personal, but I like this setup. So have some lemans winning pros :-)
