yellow stuff pads are what I use, very low dust and great stopping power. JMHO.

do you have any cold stopping problems or squealing at all Tierce? I know they claim it's non-existent but since they're listed as race pads I'm still weary

nothing worth mentioning. for the most part, you won't notice anything different from the stock pads, except that they work better and there is a lot less dust. I've never noticed any problems when cold, and I haven't had any noise problems.

I would reccommend replacing the rotors at the same time just to be safe.

Mintex Red Box. Love them on both the Boxster and the 928.

mintex red are decent. the pagid orange (or most other race pads) will eat your rotors and squeal a lot. they also don't work when they're cold (especially in colder temperatures). don't use race pads on the street.
