    what pads? (porsche upgrade)

    Anyone any ideas about identifying the pads I have on my porsche front upgrade? I bought the calipers on Ebay as "996" units, they seemed fairly new & the pads that were with them were almost new. Now I need new ones but GSF are having a hell of a time identifying them!
    All the ones in their catalog have a pair of stange round "lumps" of metal on the FRONT face! Mine are kind of standard looking but with a couple of large metal cylinders stuck to the rear. Im assuming these are merely anti squeel devices?
    I know I could just take one off & go to the local porsche dealer but I also know Id get a nasty big bill!
    Ive tried to upload a photo but the site will only let me upload this tiny one!

    Textar ones for a 996 Carrera or 986 Boxster S will do you just nicely. Or if you want a bit more bite then Ferodo DS2500s or Mintex Ctech 1144s are a nice upgrade for about £100.

    The metal lumps are standard on Textars but they're not on the Ferodos.
