I have been running Padid yellows on my 997 front and rear... I love the pads good bite and dont fade. I have 10 days of track time on them still have 1/2 the pad left, but I noticed the rear is maybe an 1/8" thinner than the front. this doesnt seem correct. is this normal or maybe more bias to the rear on a 997?

i have always driven with orange and this is first year with rear engine previous car was a 944 turbo S . Should i be looking into or just normal?

anyone have good supplier for 2405 / 2506 padgids?

Where you getting into PSM? I bet that's it.

i didnt think about PSM.... i guess rear rotation would kick in and apply break as they spin either left or right...

the padgid yellows hold up really well

The first year I had my 996 I experienced my rear pads wearing out quicker than the fronts, which of course seems odd. I agree with George and think it is the PSM. Once I learned the car better and stopped getting into PSM under braking, the pad wear normalized.

Default Pagid Pads...

The retail price is pretty consistent across the country. I believe Pagid USA insists on this.

Rennlist Sponsor Paragon Products was including a can of ATE Super Blue or ATE Gold with each axle set of Pagids.
