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.

I changed over to Mintex in the fronts and OE in the rears.
Leading evidence: 'Replace over' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

I use the OEM pad and it is great on the street AND the track.

I could imagine how hard it is to clean those mesh wheels

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.

My front break pads need replacing. Any suggestions about what is good? At the moment I just have standard porsche breaks and pads. Brand names would be cool.
I'll stay with OEM porsche pads. Hawks and Pagids are good for the track and great stopping power but with the sacrifice of eating your rotors up faster than average wear.
Contrary to what my fellow Rennlister would have you believe, the Pagid sport pad is not a heavy track/race pad, and is OEM on many cars.
"Pagid Brake Pads
Sport pad - dark blue - This is a high performance compound with low fading characteristics and high cold-friction. The most comfortable medium friction sport compound. The Sport Pad is street legal, rotor friendly and suitable for street and light track use. Available for most Audi, BMW, Porsche and VW applications and OE on various Ferraris and Corvettes."
I changed over to Mintex in the fronts and OE in the rears. The reason being that the Mintex pads have a low brake dust level....Mintex Pads + mesh style wheels= easy cleaning and the performance wasnt jeopordized in any way.
I guess it is all dependant on your needs...ideally if I was to use my car for street/track, i would use a better compound dedicated for the track. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to change pads...
Do the Pagid/Hawk make noise when they are not up to temperature?
