    I collected some pad info of non dust carbon pads.
    If you know other good alternatives, please post here your comments.

    Kerr Friction FRONT pads in street compound as follows

    Monoblock Boxter @ $140.00
    Monoblock BoxterS / 996 @ $172.00

    The KFP pads are equivalent to the Ferodo pads listed (street compound):

    FCP 451H = KFP345 @ $104.00
    FCP 891H = KFP594 @ $164.00

    Hi
    I went on EBC site, and looked for RS2.
    On part list below the say:
    "Notes: EBC Technical recommends using Redstuff compound for this model of car."

    on picture notes they say RedStuff is for track days. so Green or Red?
    I praticlay dont use my rs2 on trackdays ... and doesnt RedStuf will "eat" more diskbrake?

      Redstuff is able to operate at a higher max temperature than Greenstuff but has a lower friction coefficient than Green; they recommend using only Redstuff on the S2 because they say you'll overheat the Greens due to the S2's high performance and high weight and low disc size, and the Greens higher friction (works the discs harder).

      In my experience, I found that Redstuff had poor initial pedal bite and feel - it's as if they actually need some heat in the pad in order for them to work fully.

      For a while I was running Redstuff at the front and Greenstuff at the rear and on track that was fine.

      Also in my experience, I think the Ferodo DS2500 pad is far superior to the EBC Red.

        Ferodo DS2500 pad although more expensive is brilliant on the Porsche calipers, my car stops on a dime.
