Brake pads Raybestos or OEM Porsche

Pretty happy with them so far.

I found Raybestos Element 3 pads and rotors were great on my 2011. The pads have a higher friction rating than the OE pads but still low dust and great feel and braking. Terrific value. The rotors are nice as well.

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.

Have had very good experiences with Raybestos Element 3. Excellent price as well.

I really liked my Raybestos pads

I did the raybestos element 3 pads and coated rotors on my 2018 rogue and my wife’s Ford Escape. Very pleased and affordable on Rockauto

I bought raybestos ceramic pads and di it myself for $35. The new pads are quiet and have 30,000 miles on them with no significant wear and about 80% less dust.

I've bought Honda brakes for my 09 Accord several years ago, perfect fit and function. go with name brand, doesn't have to be top tier but OEM is a good starting point. I've just always gone with Raybestos for all my cars

i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.

First post in evo forum, looking for any advice on how to lower the noise from my raybestos ST-43 brake pads. I know that these are race pads, and I take the car to the track, but lately I've had to drive it to work as well. During city driving, when I brake from like 20mph, the screech is so loud its starting to become painful to my ears. I am trying my best now to just do sudden stops. They don't make much noise if I press the brake pedal firmly.
