GiroDisc Brake discs

I have girodisc’s on my 981 cayman, they are fantastic rotors, I started off with DS2500 pads but I used up >50% of all the pads in one track weekend at road Atlanta, I’ve got another event this weekend but I’m running DS1.11 this time around.

Pros: fantastic rotors
Vehicle: Porsche Cayman

Cons: one coil failed
Vehicle: Porsche Cayman

Brembo Brake discs

If you get brembos then one side will look backwards. It's just brembos cutting costs by only producing one version. Actual impact on performance? Likely nil . Not enough to matter if you're buying cheaper aftermarket discs anyway.

Pros: Likely nil impact
Cons: one side looks backwards
Vehicle: Porsche Cayman

Goodyear Tires

I have the 20" F1s and am not a fan. They are not happy when not fully warmed up; can get squirrelly on hard acceleration and fast cornering and before PSM kicks in. I find them to perform relatively better for wet weather. They are noisy but doesn't bother me much.

Pros: better for wet weather
Cons: noisy, squirrelly when cold

Hankook Tires

I'd advise against the RS4 altogether. They wear super slow but they heat cycled out after 100 runs for me. The RE71RS were still competitive at 150 runs. It's a great endurance track tire if you're looking for life, but as an autocross tire it's not actually cheaper per run and it's handling manners are generally terrible for the use.

Pros: wear super slow
Cons: handling manners terrible
