I'm getting brake fade with stock brakes at the track and some of the guys suggested Pagid brake pads. Anybody have experience with these, and what would you recommend? I have a 4S and drive it on the street mostly, but track it once or twice a month.

 

I run the Yellows as my track pads on my STi and they are outstanding. Very resistant to fade and they last an amazingly long time. They were originally intended as an endurance racing pad so they can take a lot of abuse before they need replacement, unlike many other track pads that need to be replaced much more often. It's not a good street pad (really squeaky) but as you probably know it's super easy to change pads w/ the Porsche calipers so you can swap them on for track weekends.

 

I was thinking of getting some Pagid pads for my STi, I hear they're great

 

I recommend keeping the OEM pads for the street and getting either Pagid Yellow or Pagid Orange for the track.

 

Can any of these pads be used for the street with out squeaking and maybe less brake dust.

 

I am more concerned with rotor wear. Do these pads eat rotors?

Also, does anyone have a suggestion for road pads with less dust than OEM?

 

Has anyone had any experience with Pagid Blues for strictly street use? It would be good to have a pad with less dust than the stock ones.

 

For street use I would go with either the Pagid RS4-2-1 (Black) or I believe they make a street pad for Porsche applications. I have seen people use Blues on the street but they do make some noise and a fair amount of dust as well.

 

Are you using the RS-19 yellow pads? I see there is a new RS-29 yellow with higher Cf. Any problems with cracking rotors from heat? Thanks!

 

I ran pagid blue's for the track in my STi, w/ upgraded ss lines and high temp fluid Get used to dusting off your wheels daily.

 

i whould go with the Pagid Blues ..... there great for street and track they take a little bit to get up to temp in the morning

 

I have the RS-29. No problems at all with my rotors, although I am running 2-piece floating hat rotors and 3" brake ducts as well to keep the heat down.

 

I used pagid blue they are a compromise pad, ok for street and track, they squeek less than orange.
