Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What track pads are people running in their 981, and do you keep them on for street use? I've never used anything other than OEM pads, which are pretty poor for track-day use. My theory being they provide a weak point that will save you from putting too much heat into the disks and hubs, so you have a consistent fail-safe. I am also too lazy to swap pads around every 6-8 weeks. Of course, I could be totally over-cautious here, and maybe a set of RS29s would be great (if not very expensive at £400). Interested in people's thoughts!

POST 2Original post

Are you on PCCBs and if so fit Pagid RSC 1s which are the kindest for disc wear. I upgrade brake fluid to ATE typ200 at the same time.

POST 3Original post

Which 981? RS29 is generally the goto option for Steel so you can’t go wrong. Edited by TDT on Friday 16th December 19:03

TDT said: Which 981? RS29 is generally the goto option for Steel so you can’t go wrong. Edited by TDT on Friday 16th December 19:03 Just a poor man's S model with on steels. How are the RS29's on the road, or will I want to be swapping back to standard?

POST 5Original post

They are fine on the road, maybe a little bit of extra squeal when totally cold but few prod to get some temp build and to get contact face working will see them right. Durable pad, with good performance …firmer than OEM which it feels like you can squash lol!

POST 6Original post

I fitted Ferodo DS2500's to my Cayman GTS prior to a Spa trackday. Brakes were mega, hardly any wear and dust wasn't too bad.No brake squeeling either. Easy to clean the wheels as well. Only downside was a price of circa £200 all in from Demon Tweeks.
