Hello 6speeders,

I am coming due for new front brakes in my 911. It is my only car and sees about 8-10k miles total per year. I participate in autocross and open lapping days so I want something that can withstand sustained hard stops at the track but not be unbearably squeaky/squealy for street driving. I don't care about dust as I wash my car weekly. Ideally I'd have dedicated track pads but I'd have to carry a jack and tools to swap them at the track and that's difficult in a car with such limited cargo space. What aftermarket replacement rotors can handle track abuse, and can someone recommend a good dual-purpose pad that can get the job done? There's so many options out there; I don't want to pick a crappy pair of rotors or inadequate pads. Thanks everyone!!

 

Facebook seems to be a little more helpful; been suggested Sebro slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads or Ferodo DS2500 pads. I don't need to replace my rear rotors anytime soon so I don't know if I want to have mis-matched styles of rotors from an aesthetic standpoint but it is my understanding that slotted rotors hold up better to prolonged track use.

 

I've been using Sebro Slotted w/ PFC08's on my car. They do squeal but the bite and predictability are worth it. I used to switch when I ran Pagids but the bed in process was not safe or legal to do on the public roads.

 

Ordered Hawk HPS pads through Pelican Parts and got that sweet PCA discount ;-). Will report on them soon!

 

I recently put the Girodisc Street/Strip pads in my 4S (stock rotors). First track day is on the 9th but have been impressed with improved stopping power thus far. A good bit of squeal and brake dust to contend with relative to OEM.
