PCCB brake pads?

I tried to search, but could not find definite answers.

Is there an alternative (more affordable OR better option) to the original Porsche pads presumably made by Pagid?

I know there are race pads available (P50) but those are not necessary for my application as I only do light tracking with the TT.

Any product codes and suggestions are highly appreciated.

I have a brand new set of front Cool Carbon pads for PCCB that I never installed. I mostly bought them because I was tired of the noise and dust. I sold the car and they are just sitting in my garage. Lmk if you want them....ill ship them out cfor $150 if you want them.

These pads are NOT suitable for PCCB brakes according to Cool Carbon. They are suitable for PCCB cars using STEEL replacement rotors.
To prevent anyone else from making the same mistake I did, I wanted to point this out.

In my defense....I purchased these from Pelican Parts about a yesr ago (for my 996 GT2) and there was in NO WAY shape of form anything in the description that said "steel only". I am positive that either Cool Carbon or Pelican Parts made a change in their description AFTER I purchased them. Super sorry Mikko! If you wernt sooo far away Id say ship them back but shipping them twice to and from Finland is more than half their actuall value. I have no doubt that you will find a good home for them closer to you. Again...sorry!

Yeah, no problem.
Just glad that I checked from CC before install and ruining my PCCB rotors.
May "update" to steels later on so they might come in handy anyway...
