Porsche 996 calipers which pads.

[Monkeymagic]

I'm doing my big brake conversion using Porsche 996 calipers 323 disc etc. I have everything except pads obviously most factors want a reg to get correct pads. Anyone know the number of pads needed. Only need standard textar or paid pads. Ie cheap as this conversion getting wee bit expensive now

Don't get trextar...just makes dust.

Get some yellow stuff ebc pads. They're all pretty similar pads. Ebc were cheaper if anything.

Thanks again Will. got an ebc supplier by me do you know the ebc part number mate.

If they're 996 turbo calipers, I think through ebc code is DP41515R

You can also get them from design911 for about £80.

fyi the "yellow stuff" ebc pads are rated as "high dust" where as the ebc "red stuff" is low dust. I have textar pads and would say that they they have a lot of dust but the do brake well.

Yellows are a good pad now, run them on 3 cars now and they take abuse but work from cold. Reds are ceramic and aren't as good in terms of bite but should last well.

I run Ds2500 on the S2 and they have always worked well when warm but are quite soft and don't last too long with hard use.

I've got a set of textars listed in the for sale section.. only done about 1K and are in excellent condition...

I'm running a group buy on the Ferodo's that Rusty is on about - BUT these don't come cheap... http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...446#post666446

I have red stuff's. If they are low dust, I'll never buy yellow stuff - at least not for the road.

£15.00 plus postage...

Don't want to put you off them, but if you're putting new discs on, always the best idea to put new pads on too...

I find Red stuff pads a bit rubbish when cold (scary rubbish if youre not used to it) unfortunately they also last for ages!!!

[Monkeymagic]

the car is a second car and tend to drive smooth using momentum etc and little braking also it doesn't really get dirty so at this stage think the textars Will do. I've spent nearly as much on the car since buying it as it cost to buy. also need to feed the kids at some point!
