Still waiting for feedback from the users of Endless brake pads at the track.

+1 so far Izzone is the only one I know that uses Endless pads. I'd never heard of Endless pads until Izzone. All I knew was Pagid, Performance Friction and Hawk as far as race pads go.

Thanks TRD. I'd like to try Endless pads next. I have 2 days left on my Pagid's and then new pads and rotors for late summer DE's.

For those that use Endless pads which work the best for the track with the least heat build up and rotor wear? I wonder if they make them for Carrera S brakes which are the same as 996 Turbo brakes?????

Give ME20 front and rear a try. We do make it for the 997 Carrera and 996 Turbo.

How much are the ME20's? Are they more or less than pagids?

Have you run pagid yellows before? If so, how do they compare both in feel and longevity?

See that is the thing...I can't find anyone that has run Pagid Yellows and now runs Endless ME20.

I'd love to try these out to compare with the Performance Friction PFC97's and Pagid Yellows I've run but I hate to spend serious bucks and find that they are mushy or wear rotors faster or not last as long as Pagid Yellows.

I'm satisfied with the yellows until something comes along that lasts longer and feels better. Till then...

Yellows have been good it's just at around 50% they start the feel mushy for some reason.

I can do a few DE's and a little street driving on them and then pop in my stock street pads and re-bed those. The stock pads have a more firm pedal feel but I'm still able to get a great feeling and modulate coming off the brake. Odd I know but I was hoping that the Endless pads would be priced good and offer a little bit of a harder pedal feel.

I'm also waiting to see how Trakcar ends up liking the Performance Friction PFC08 pads he is trying out. Trakcar has experience with Pagid Yellows so his comparison to the PFC08 will be nice to hear.

Problem with stock pads for me at least, is that they don't last. But then again they're cheaper so maybe it's a wash.

Yes true...sorry for the misunderstanding...I was comparing the stock pads and the Yellows on the street driving. The Yellows feel mushy and longer pedal travel and the stock pads have short pedal and feel firmer.
