Anyone have any experience with Cobalt Racing Brakes. I have an event sponsor willing to order 997 3 brakes, & rotors. I am going to give him part numbers and he will see what is available.

We had an interesting conversation about Porsche aftermarket parts. He indicated that there are only a few manufactures who make the parts and most everyone else is a distributor. Anyway, I am going to give him what he needs and try out some options on pads and rotors. I will post options when I get them

Geesh I have never heard of anyone needing aftermarket brakes for a Porsche before. Sure PCCB probs but guys just order Cup brakes. You think this is worth it?

Frank,

I have used Cobalt pads on my SCCA T3 S2000 with very good results. I have a set of Cobalt XR2 pads to try on the GT2 after I wear out the Carbotechs that are on there now. I have no knowledge of any rotors that they supply

That was a confusing post. Late nighter, I was telling him I use Protosport rotors, they are made in Germany. He was commenting that they are likely made at the same place and that he would get access to GT3 iron rotors and would get me some prices.

the Cobalt issue was he could get me the pads, do I want to try them, being a Pagid only guy to this point I thought I would see if others had use them.
Does your GT2 have the same pads as a 997-3 if so do you have any part numbers to share for Cobalt. Please give us a write up on them when you use them.
This guy runs cup cars, I am not saying he is running cobalt on his cup cars, i did not ask, but he knows what he is doing.

I don't know anyone who owns a Porsche that uses them , FWTW - or I'd pass on what I heard. Sorry -

As soon as I use them will write it up, but it will be awhile. I am running the Yellow Ceramic Calipers with 996 Cup rotors on the front and 997 Cup Rotors 350 x 28mm on the rear of the GT2. I do know that Cobalt is just starting to make pads for the Porsche.

Oddly enough, I was just talking to a guy at the track yesterday who is about to try them on his Turbo. Id be interested in trying something new as well.

Never tried them....I have run Pagid and Performance Friction and am currently running Pagid RS29 Yellows. I would try out Cobalts if they gave them to me.

I tried them on my NSX with great results. Those were DE pads. I would think there race winning tradition would speak volumes for their pad quality. There website gives excellent specs on each pad.
