These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Wondering if anyone could recommend a fast road/trackday brake pad for 99 C4 as the dreaded red light has popped up and i suspect fronts are worn... Disks front and rear are genuine porsche and in good condition so only looking to change pads at this time. Any recommendations would be appreciated - ideal pad would be some bite from cold but work well on trackdays-yellowstuff EBC seems to get mixed reviews but curious how they behave on 996s. Thanks, Steve

POST 2Original post

http://www.pagid-brake-pads.co.uk/products/rs15-grey-ceramic-based.php One of the best all-purpose pads due to a combination of good initial bite from cold on the road & the ability to work at extremely high temps as well.

POST 3Original post

I didn't think Pagid do a RS-15 in standard carrera sizes?

POST 5Original post

You had me doubting my 29 choice, have yet to purchase though...

POST 6Original post

Personally, I use Performance Friction PF06's all round. An excellent track pad and acceptable on the road. Price is right too. They are a tad dusty though, but not nearly as bad as the 97 & 01 versions.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is pagid RS-14 Black a sensible choice if RS-15 is not available? Steve

POST 8Original post

Friction level isn't as high, but sounds like a reasonable choice all the same - seems quite similar to the trusty old RS-29 in fact. http://www.pagid-brake-pads.co.uk/products/rs14-black-ceramic-based.php http://www.pagid-brake-pads.co.uk/products/rs15-grey-ceramic-based.php http://www.pagid-brake-pads.co.uk/products/rs29-yellow-ceramic-based.php

POST 9Original post

RS29's I wanted greys, but couldn't get them in time. ended up with the 29's and rather glad I did. no issues on road, and great on track
