Best Brake pads for Porsche Cayman

Ferodo ds2500 pads which are a high performance street pad which is trackable. I took it to the track today and had zero fade or brake issues. Then, I let my crazy fast instructor drive and rip the shit out of the car for 20 min straight. By the end of the round, the brakes were smoking. But still, no fade, and those weren’t even track only pads.

I’ve ran the DS3.12... in my cayman. I get 15+ days on them... I like the harder bite from the Ferodos

Ferodo ds 1.11 on my cayman GTS 4.0 seem to last a long time. 1 weekend at COTA which is very brake abusive plus another 3-4 weekends at a less brake intensive track. I drive them to/from the track and swap to ferodo ds2500 for street duty.

My personal compromise on the GT4RS is Pagid RSL29 front and rear.

Pagid yellow for me.

My 981 Cayman is very maintenance friendly. I’ve done oil, transaxle oil, spark plugs (tight space but doable), brakes, etc. It is quite a bit easier than the 718 since you have to remove underpanels to gain access to the underside of engine/transaxle.

Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.

Ferodo 3.12 pads ( 6 track days+? we will see)

I've looked online to see what the front brake pads and discs for my 987.1 Cayman S cost. Brake discs from Brembo cost 103 euros each and a set (4 pieces) of brake pads, also from Brembo, costs 65 euros, so in total the material costs 270 euros.

Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
