Porsche Big Red Brake Pads

[ChriS3]

I'm not too impressed with the Hawk pads that came with my Porsche/ECS brake kit. Anyone got any good recommendations for replacements?

 

[jojo]

Too much power Chris?

 

[ChriS3]

Too much power???? Is that possible?

I've been thinking about replacing them for a while, they just don't bite like they should.

 

[mad max]

what about ebc redstuff ive heard they are quite good

 

[Randomjim]

They dont last very long though

What sort of driving do you do? You may like the Ferodo DS2550 if you do some spirited driving

 

[dummi]

i've heard good things about the ferrodo DS series.

i wouldnt advise redstuff.

they will wreck your discs, i know they chewwed up a friends.

I use OEM porsche Textar 993 twin turbo pads from www.type-911.co.uk

they are circa £66 + vat

 

[neil.c]

Both GSF and ECP do Textar pads they could well be cheaper and depending where you live they could be more accessible

With Porsche brakes and 330bhp, I thought my driving style was obvious

Admitably i dotn have porsche calipers - however Quinten Hazel i swear by.. they do take A LONG time to bed in.. around 1000kms .... but once they have.... they are brilliant...and they last a while as well!

As I've just found out to my cost!!

 

[ChriS3]

Paul, do you replce the damper plates at the same time?

 

[S2Avant]

Yes, if the sticky stuff on the back of them doesn't stick anymore.

 

[Paul-RS6]

first set didnt have them fitted from new.
second set i fitted myself, didnt have them , didnt fit them.

third set with new discs, I supplied them with all the other parts and got Amd to fit them.

 

[ChriS3]

I think your nickname of 'Mincing Maguire' says more about your driving style!


The standard Porsche pads are good...certainly when fitted to a Porsche

That's peanuts...
You've been living in Aberdeen too long...you are starting to sound like a local now!
Get a grip!

You know the script. Time/place, blah blah. You can take the yellow beast that couldn't get away from me last time, or that Mk3 if you need something a little more agile.

Twice the price of S3 pads. God, you're right. The Scottishness is wearing off on me.

 

[Paul-RS6]

twice the size ;o)

You could try the Pagid RS42 (Blues), they were really good. I used them with my 996 Mov'it kit.
