Help with .1 RS brake setup recommendation
First, appreciate all the the knowledge here, I've learned a TON and well worth the modest member costs... So a question for the experts:
I picked up a .1 RS that had PCCB that were switched to steel. I'm getting ready to prep the car for DE (rear bar, harness, couple other things, etc).
It has red calipers. I talked to the guys that did the swap before the prior owner picked up the car and they said they used .2 parts. I guess they could be painted yellows but unsure if the yellow .1 and red .2 us different pads?
On the car:
RF rotor is a porsche part, has 997.351.410.91 4.42.0 stamped on it. 380mm rotor.
LR rotor is a porsche part, has 997.352.405.92 5.29.0 stamped on it. 350mm rotor.
Has Pagid yellow pads F/R now, but unsure of part numbers (haven't taken off yet), but they squeal like hell on the street!
Here are my questions:
1. Suggestion for front rotors? I see previous thread where Mooty suggests PFC slotted, several concur. I don't need to match rear, don't care. Good? Anyone have the part # for this?
2. Suggestion for rears? Does a turbo rear fit? Turbo parts are 997.352.405.02 and 997.352.406.02 (I think) Turbo part is like 350, .2rs part is like 1k.
3. Suggestion for STREET pads for this setup?
4. Suggestion for TRACK pads for this setup?
Keep in mind i'm a very, very beginner track driver... so I don't need anything crazy aggressive, just "right" that will perform well.

The Pagid Yellow part numbers are U2707 front and U8006 rear.
Yes you could run the Turbo rears. Most of the guys tracking .2 RS are doing so.
PF 378.32.0060.45 (left) and 46 (right) slotted rotors for the front are very popular as well. PF 08 pads will serve you well. Pad part numbers are PF7819.08.19 front and PF1299.08.18 rear. The PF08s are easy to modulate and work well for beginners up through experienced instructors and racers.
Is your RS your daily driver, or weekend track car that sees limited street use?

Then I wouldn't bother swapping pads between events.

So if you use the OEM pads you will be ok for track and street, taking in considerations you're just starting.
Pagids are not the best options out there anymore.
PFC, endless and top performance pads today is a compound offered by Brembo (motorsports)
