porterfields are a good choice. I have them on our MB cars. I am pleased with the performance and the huge reduction in dust.
Oh and BTW, it is BRAKE not BREAK (a peeve of mine)

Why would someone want to put soft low-performance pads on a sportscar just to lessen dusting??? 
Giving up braking performance for the convenience of having to clean wheels less is ludicrous for a Porsche..particularly a Turbo. I hear Mercedes Benz cars use a softer compound...

What Porterfield pads are you referring to? I've used them on other cars, primarily R4's and R4S's (pads) and they dust horribly.

I love them but they can be a little squeeky sometimes.

I use R4S. They are not dustless but I experience about an 80- 90% reduction.

Pretty soon Darren is going to have to ban you and you'll have to come back under an assumed name, just like Rave did over at the M5 board some years ago. That Turbo of yours must have been cursed to transfer from one angry young man to another!

Listen, either you are here to disrupt this thread or the one about what are you. Before long I'm going to have to put Scott down in Houston on you and he really knows how to cut a guy deep. Fer cryin out loud, change your avatar too. Maybe Dan has a picture of the other end of that monkey you can borrow.
