I use Pagid Sports on my 997. They're a little noisier than regualar pads but perform fine for a DE every once in a while. For the casual trackster changing pads x2 for each event which may amaount to 2-4 a year is a PITA, as that time is better spent doing something else.

I like the Autozone brand brake pads because they come with a lifetime warranty. You take back the old ones and you get new ones for free. They don't make too much dust or noise either.

That's where I'm coming from.

Do you know if the Pagid Sports are the same as their RS 4-2-1 Black? Their website doesn't say that (as far as I've seen), but I recall seeing something to that effect on a distributor's website.

Also, how would you compare the bite of the Pagid Sports with the stock pads?

Changing pads takes about 3 minutes per wheel. 4 if you count jacking the car up. When I learned how to do it and realized my mechanic was charging 2 hours of labor I just wanted to :bang::bang::bang:

Blacks are serious track pads. Sports are for posers. :lol:

I watched it being done and it took way longer than that, so you must be mighty fast at 4 minutes/wheel. And with the Cayman being my default track car, I want to be able to take the 911 on a whim, sometimes not deciding to take it until the evening before the track day. If necessary, I'd rather just get pads good enough for the track and deal with squealing on the street.

They have two Blacks, RS4-2-1 and RS14. Which are you referring to?

Correction: They also have a RS7-1 Black.

RS-14's are the serious track pad, just read the description.

Maybe add a minute or 2 if you want the brake sensor.

My bad. Didn't even know they made a black pad that wasn't a serious track pad. Why the F would they have 3 different black compounds ? Most track guys just know their pads as Pagid blacks,oranges, greys and yellows.
