I found the GT3’s brakes to be very easy to modulate. They bite very quickly for carbon ceramics and give you the impression that they could bail you out of most situations. Since the GT3 feels so damn planted, braking also feels like a total non-event. You don’t feel the weight shifting forward in a dramatic fashion or anything like that, brake engagement feels very immediate.
Best Brake pads for Porsche 911
I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.
Had the same issue with my 987.2 S, ended up upgrading to a GT3 master cylinder and brake ducts, giro disc rotors and RS29 pads. Obviously running decent brake fluid and change it regularly. It’s now great and can handle many laps of Oulton Park without fading.
I own a 1999 996 C2. I have had the car for over 10 years. I bought it with 70k miles, and it now has 169,000 miles.
It is in the garage now waiting for front brakes. Have the parts, just got busy.
If you never get the brakes terribly hot (single high-energy braking events are fine, I'm talking extended periods of track or track-like driving here when I say "hot"), porsche OEM pads work great. If you do run the car under track or track-like conditions, the OEM pads never fade (in my experience), but they do wear out alarmingly fast.
I tried looking at different brands of pads for my 911. Just ended up going with OEM pads. Turns out most people think Porsche OEM is the best stuff and I've learned for many aspects of these cars that is true. This is very different from every other car I owned where you could either get better performance or reduced costs by going aftermarket. With my Porsche I couldn't find a pad that offered better daily driver + some hard driving performance... or was cheaper without sacrificing performance.

The pads work great, no fade for me at my skill level, even with a 40 minute session. Also work great on the street, with no noise or issues cold. However, I am using up about 70% of the pad in 2 hours of track driving. Particularly the rear pads, which are wearing noticeably quicker than the fronts.
I just had the worst experience with EBC redstuff pads. brand new pads, and the first time i put pressure on them - they fail - badly! overheating within 5 minutes of spirited driving in the mountains.
EBC street pads are nothing special.
