.2 GT3 & RS with steel brakes come fitted with Pagid race compound from the factory?
I think I remember reading this from a forum thread somewhere... that they are fitted with Pagid rs19 or 29 or something like that from the factory. And I'd rather not take it apart just to check for myself. Can anyone confirm?
If that's the case, all I really need to do before my first track day is to swap out the fluid to SRF or similar, correct? And of course bring a spare set of RS29 and replacement caliper bolts.
This will be my GT3's shakedown event, not my first time though

Stock pads on the .2 GT3 are RS90 compound for both the steel and ceramics. RS90 = RS19 compound. The only difference from the OEM and aftermarket is the OEM are painted red. My replacement RS90 front pads came in a plain white box, while the rears came directly form Porsche in a "Pagid Racing" box. RS19 is an endurance pad versus RS29, which is a sprint pad. Yes, they come with race pads from the factory. Hence why they are so noisy and have such bad low speed performance. Just put some good fluid in and drive as hard as you want on the track. They won't fade. I put 11 track days and 8k miles on my first set last year before replacing them. You can extend the life by flipping them halfway through the surface life.
RS 19 Yellow
Best compound for endurance racing on the basis of the RS14. A slight reduction of the friction value improves the modulation (controllability). Nevertheless, the friction value is enough for cars without power-assisted brake system and ensures comfortable low effort on the brake pedal. Constant temperatures up to 600°C (1,100°F) are possible. The combination of friction value, fading stability and low wear rates on pads and discs (rotors) realised with this material is unmatched up to now. Due to its excellent release characteristics and controllability PAGID endurance materials are also often used for sprint races. A multiple winner of Daytona 24h, Le Mans 24h, Sebring 12h, Spa 24 h, Nürburgring 24h, often with no pad change and usually no disc (rotor) change. Application: All endurance racing cars from Group N (Speed-WC, Grand Am Cup), Group A up to GT and Sport-Prototypes (Grand Am DP).
RS 29 Yellow
RS29 combines the outstanding wear rate of the RS19 with a slightly higher coefficient of friction and initial bite. Due to its excellent driveability PAGID endurance materials are also often used for sprint races. Application: All endurance racing cars from group N (Speed-WC, Grand Am Cup), Group A up to GT and Sport-Prototypes (Grand Am DP).

From what I can tell the RS29 is an evolution of the RS19.
