    Pads for 996 calipers

    What are you guys using with the A8 (undrilled) discs?

    Price? Performance?

        I went for Pagid Fast Road pads @ £70. Everything's still collecting dust at the moment but I've got somebody to race against for getting them fitted now When are you planning to fit yours John ?

            Even though EBC list stuff for the Porsche Monoblock calipers, they do not exist. The only response you will get from their sales staff is that they are on back order but the real truth is they have not (and will not) developed them due to cost and it being a (their words) limited market???
            I have always used Textar in my conversions, they work really well and Textar is the OE supplier to Porsche.

                  Anyone close to me i could prob get discounted rate on that price, but obviously only worth it if ur close, as any savings would get lost in sending otherwise.

                  I usually get v gd prices from GSF
