I put Stop Techs on my previous Mazda and they were far superior in performance and longevity.
Stoptech + EBC reds is a pretty good option for street.
Pagid RS29 are what I always used to run on my Cayman, and I loved them. Now I run Ferodo DS1.11 on my STI, and I'm a big fan of them too, but I'd still probably go back to Pagids if I went back to Porsche.
Pagid Yellows (also branded as RS29) is what I have on my 987.2 track car. If you want a track only pad, I’ve had great experience with PFC08, but I’ve used that on my BMW128i track car, so take that into consideration. Both can be used to/from track driving too. Just be prepped for a lot of squeal. Both are dusty as they should so be aware of that as well.
I'm extremely impressed with their Sport pads, when compared to their closest Hawk competitor, HPS. I ran Hawks for quite a while and they were ridiculously loud. The Sports give me similar bite, maybe a tad more, but no squeal whatsoever. These were on a Focus RS that I used for DD/autocross.
I run Pagid yellows, and yeah, they love to squeal when they're cold. Cold, as in, like you said, not at track driving operating temperature. Occasional street driving is loud, but I don't concern myself with that.
Not only is the yellow pad performance better at the track, but they are Pagid's "endurance" pad, so, at least compared to stock, they last a good deal longer too. Performance and durability are easily worth a little noise to me.
Centric Premium Rotors front and rear: left as is Stoptech Street Pads: left as is
Just did all 4 of my rotors and pads(rear pads were gone no warning and destroyed a rotor)
Went centric premium rotors all around, they’re nice and painted black on the outer surfaces
Stoptech sport pads all around, quite abit of bite I’ve been able to drive them in pretty cold temps and rain now with no issue
GTI Brakes with StopTec Slotted Rotors and Brake pads
That's the standard Toe-N-Go alignment.. most "alignment" places do that, unless you go to a specialized alignment place.
