How much should I expect to pay for new brakes on a NA 996?

(Age old question, I know...) Should I go with OEM pads or Pagid Sport? I want good performance, but no squealing.

Lastly, best fluid to use when changing the brakes so it has good heat tolerance on track days.

Thanks,

Front and rear stock pads should cost you around $200
I used ATE Blue for the last track event. I also made a last minute decsion and tried the Pagid Oranges for the track. I was impressed with them, but only use them for the track, becuase they will squeel for around town use. Best prices are from http://www.paragon-products.com. You also get one can of ATE Blue with each set of pads. Pick up a Power Bleeder as well

 

Thanks Kevin. For the mechanically challenged, is changing the pads as easy as it sounds? Maybe an hour to do all 4 corners?

 

Its actually very simple.. shouldn't take more then 1 1/2
check over on renntech.org for do it yourself instructions. Maybe anouther 45 mintutes to bleed brakes, I would do this at the same time
