Brake Pad recommendations

I'm looking to change the pads on my Boxster when I get it back from Pepe Porsche tomorrow. The Boxster is my daily driver and I commute into the city from Long Island everyday. I drive it hard and sometimes a little too hard. I'm looking for something that'll stop me when I need to stop. Anyone have experiences with Pagid Blue Pads? How do they compare to OEM Pagid’s?

I run Pagid Blue daily... they squeak like hell, but they have excellent levels of cold friction.... and btw they are incredible when you are pushing them. Honestly they are almost too much for street tires.

Do they squeak all the time or only when they're cold. I was running HP Plus on my BMWs and at this point I'm tired of squeaking...lol

not all the time, but when they are cold and at low speeds after being pushed really hard (a few hard stops from say 90 to a second gear turn) they squeak. Honestly I don't mind the squeaking, I can barely hear it over my car as it is anyways... but the my answer is... not all the time, but yes when they are cold and at low speeds after being pushed they do. Usually just takes a one good break to get ride of the cold squeak.

I'm not sure if they make pads for the Cayman, but I really like the Carbotech Bobcats. They're quiet, low dusting, great cold bite, and can hold up to the abuse of trackdays.

Pagid Sport - More agressive than stock but won't squeak, unlike Pagid blue, orange or black.

For what it's worth, I have been running Axxis ultimates on my car for a while...They are decent, medium dust. Everyone has a diff opinion on pads.
