Performance Friction are excellent...both in terms of longetivity as well as braking power. Hawk Blue works well too, but squeals more during daily driving.

I like the KFP Magnum Gold compounds from Paragon Products. Been using them at the track on my 944 and my 968 for a few years now.

I just love the Pagid Yellow RS19 (or RS29). They are very easy to modulate, last a long time, are easy on rotors and have consistent friction with temp. changes. Only problem is that they're very pricey, but they last so long, it's well worth it.

How much does your car weigh?

I really like the Performance Friction 97 compound for my 3000lb car/driver combo.

But I just bought some Carbotech XP10 pads out of curiosity to try next. Carbotech claims that they have amazing bite, and compare to the Performance Friction 01 compound. Whatever - I've never tried the 01 compound, so we'll see what I got myself into.

FYI, I checked the price of the XP10's for your car here: Carbotech Porsche Application Guide
F $179
R $143

Good luck!

My vote is for the PFC 97's. They have been easy to bed in and no issues.

PF 97's - I run a 968 engine in my 944. I can get 3/4 of a season out of one set - about 15-20 track days/yr of which more than half are racing.
