Endless endurance pads
Hi
Does anyone here use Endless brakepads on the standard 997GT3.2 steel brakes? It seems quite a few endurance teams use them. Manthey also recommends them. Does anyone know what their equivalent of the Pagid RS29 is and if it is better/longer lasting?
Edit: found another topic dicussing this subject
Can someone just tell me what endurance pads are equivalent to Pagid Yellow? They seem to have a lot of different pad types.

I have driven most of their pads, except ma45b
Me20 is just like pagid, same life same mushy pedal after two days, same taper
N35s, same
W003, no bite, little longer wear

I have not been able to stomach the ma45b price to do an experiment, they are somewhere in the 2k per pad set price
In my opinion. If they last 2x what I am running now it is not worth it...I don't mind doing pad changes
If u decide to run endless, buy multiple sets. They carry minimal stock so if u need pads quick you are SOL. This is why I tried all the different compounds, they were always out of me20

$2k for a set of freakin pads.....?????? They are as crazy as GMG is with there $7800 wheels. NO THANKS! I'll stick with Pagid and/or Performance Friction.
You confused me with your post saying the Me20 gets mushy like Pagid, Endless M35 the same and W003 has no bite. Didn't appear that you liked them all that much.

Ok, let's recap some part numbers here.
For a 2010 GT3(RS) on steels we have:
Pagid RS29:
U8003 front
U8006 rear
Endless MA45B.
HP232 front
HP285 rear
Performance Friction PFC08
??? front
??? rear
anyone care to fill in? I think P78190817 front and P12990817 rear but not sure about the fronts (they seem a little bit too thick, they are the Pagid U8004 equivalent. U8004 = U8003 but 1.5mm thicker).

Former Vendor
Friday a customer changed from Endless to Pagid as the Endless wore much too quickly for teir HUGE price...passing on what I hear.
FWIW, a vast huge majority of pro racing teams use Pagid Yellow, Endless is a relative rarity.

Rear, 1299.08.18.44
Front, 7819.08.19.44
This is the only number on the box
Give them a try, I have been happy with them

PFC is the best alternative for the $$ me thinks..

Endless can be a little hard to find too.... We tried to get some for our Cup with the new Bosch ABS system as it like a high torque pad.... Couldn't get RS,15s in time. Called GMG three times over two days as they claimed to be a "distributor" but after chatting and them promissing to look into it, I never got a call back......
Everyone is saying "better than a Pagid" or "about the same as a Pagid" Well which Pagid? The RS29 which is a track day favourite, which I like as well, is an endurance pad. Not exactly the highest torque pad out there. Brand to brand comparos is apples to oranges. Brand X compound to another Brand Y compound would make a better comparo.
The RS29 makes a good track day pad as most people using it are going to get good life at the track but I have seen a lot of them come out of calipers where they are not getting enough heat into them to even bed the compound properly. I have even seen a few pics on Rennlist of pads that are not bedded properly. If you don't get them bedded properly or get enough heat into them you won't get the proper performance.
Mike, nice Kit in your avitar!
Cheers
