Default Need Brake Pads

It's time to replace brake pads on my 997.1 TT. Also, they squeal like crazy. I've researched and it's very confusing what to buy. There's a lot to choose from. I'm not tracking my car so this will be for the street only. It seems there's conflicting reviews for every manufacturer. What replacement brake pads have you guys been happy with have you had any noise?

Been running same Pagid RS for a couple of years on my 996 tt. Street and track. Low dusting, no noise, good bite, don't eat up rotors.

As you can see there are multiple brands/responses. Really hard to get a consensus.

It does look like you have PCCBs...I would stick with the OEM pads and not chance damaging your expensive rotors.

If you have PCCB and you want to try something other than stock you'll want the Pagid RSC1 compound
