Any of you guys running these pads for more street use if you are using your 997 GT3 for day use? I plan on using mine for everyday driving and track. The brake dust is getting to me so I was hoping to find something with less noise and dust for more street use.

Any other recommendations? I'm running steel brakes.

I got the same question, did you use them? anybody else? Compared to the Pagids they are 199 for the fronts and 179 for the rears, less expensive than stock and Pagid yellow, the car is my daily driver and i have 5 or 6 track days a year. Steel rotors.

I have used R4S on Ferrari and Pantera on street and track and have been very pleased. Good friction and not too hard on rotors. Dust level is "average"
have not tried on GT2 yet.

Sorry, I have no data for direct comparison to Porsche pads. In applications I have experienced, R4S same as stock pads regarding rotor wear. For additional reference, Hawk Blue much more aggressive on rotors, Hawk Black about same as stock.

They are good street pads. My wife uses them on her CLK. I would not use them on the track on a GT3.
