It's almost autocross season again, and this year I really want to improve my times. I also happen to be pretty close to needing brake pads. Any ideas as to what is a good pad for both stopping and prefferably low dust? I've used Carbotech Bobcats on Subarus, but never on my Boxster. I hear the Hawk has some good pads, but the one's Ive researched all show no cot out for the front wear sensors. And whenever you mention Porsche, Someone always brings up Pagid. Anyone have any input? my first x-cross is on the 30th, so I want put them in by then.

 

My take on the sensors, is, if you are an active enough driver (DE, AX etc) you will learn to do a visual inspection rather than rely on the sensors.

For my DE/AX duties, I ran PF97s Performance Friction. They were a very aggressive compound that worked well once they got heat into them. Depending on the type of courses you run on, you may want to keep with a stock type pad (lowish dust and works at low temps) or try a mild performance compound. A full on race compound may be a bit too much.

 

I use black Pagid's.

 

hmmmmm I'm thinking Hawks

 

porterfield r4s for ax & street

 

Who makes the ceramic pads? 01 Boxster S, I am tired of the dust.
