Brake pads Project Mu or OEM Porsche
Consider Project Mu Club Racers. They’re not the most aggressive pads but hold up decently well on track depending on your pace and are surprisingly streetable.
My 993 C4S with “big reds” squealed when I did a brake job using aftermarket pads (Textar OEM replacements). After putting up with it for a few years, I swapped them back to Porsche Genuine pads. Squeal was gone instantly.
I switched to OEM pads and bedded them in with a few heavy stopping cycles and no squeals since.
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.
I just replaced brakes on all corners and saved about 50% vs dealership and they used OEM parts.
Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.
The mid-engine handling is amazing out of the box and only needs brake pads and fluid to be happy at the track all day.
IMO the best are Project MU-HC+. in my Megane RS I could treat the HC+ as a track pad and go all-out for a full session, they'd just wear pretty fast at high temps
