Hi Leong, I had orders as follows:
Chris T: Red on Black & Black on White
Gary P: Iris B on Black
John H: Red on Black
Jake: Arctic Silver on Black
I ordered 3 red on black, 2 white on red, 1 black on white, 1 Iris Blue on Black and 1 Arctic Silver on Black.
I have just asked Thomas for another Red on Black but it looks like I have you covered already. I will take the extra white on red for Herman the C4.

Leong what's the latest on when your GT4 arrives?
endless do an ME20 & ME22 if you want to get more serious on track. But this is for a car doing targa Tour with 160 kph restriction. I think like R comps probably not needed unless you fear getting left behind or your pads already low. I found in both cars factory pads have been adequate for this type of work although both cars are on large brake set ups and well ventilated. I still believe endless makes one of the best pads for 911s. Pete Hardy ran a few sets through on his 964 and recommended them. There are probably as many different views on this as there are on tyres and engine oil lol!

Hey guys, just wanting your opinions on brake pads for the Cayman.
I'm considering between endless and pagid rs29's
Use will be targa tour, track days and spirited road trips.
I've had RS29's in my RS4 before and liked them but never in a porsche.
The Cayman currently has endless pads in it I'm told... they are yellow, not sure if that's the colour of endless pads? as RS29's are yellow also!
Thoughts appreciated

AS discussed I run the PFC 08's along with Matt Gregan and now John Mcm here. Actually Matt has 06 and 01's I think but his car is a step up...

Hey Chris those yellow pads might be EBC yellows. They feel nice but will crater and ruin your discs - ask me how I know....

All - I'm looking to buy beg steal or borrow an open face helmet for Targa Tour with Chris. My old helmets don't have any codes or whatever on them and probably don't adhere to MSNZ regs.
Anyone can help?

I'm happy to help, mine is open face but it could be a size too big. It is compliant with MSNZ regs though.

The nice thing about the PFCs is they're pre-bedded and good down to the backing plate. The Pagids are trash once they're half-worn, but the RS compound is quite old now and that's (hopefully) been addressed with the newer RSL compounds.
Endless doesn't seem to be very good value for money.
01, 06 & 08 are all the same price GBP 185 for an axle
