Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Porsche

For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.

Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.

This is how a \u00a33.5k bill for Porsche brake pads and discs turned into a \u00a31.8k bill for me. Using the same OEM parts, but at a Porsche specialist not main dealer.

Stop tech sport brake pads have been great to me.

I replaced them both with stoptech pads and rotors. Good quality and price.

brakes on a cayman are pretty straight forward. DO NOT reuse the caliper mounting bolts they are one time use bolts. Also do yourself a favor and spend the money on factory brake pads and rotors.

It's not hard at all. One thing you want to watch out for is that Porsche is adamant about not reusing the bolts that hold on the caliper, so make sure you order a fresh set.

I run Stoptech 305s and they exceed my expectations

Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain

I put stoptech pads on my 2011 hatch and they have been so beyond noisey they have been driving me insane. Gotta find something else to replace them with. Hope your experience is better!
