I put stoptech pads and rotors on the back of mine, got the set for $32.38 on clearance from tirerack.com. For the fronts I run Hawk HPS 5.0 pads
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.
Stoptech 309 and Endless MX72/CCRG pads. They were great for my beginner's pace on the track. Obviously once I started pushing it more, you'll find the limits of the pad.
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.
I bought a Boxster for 8k this year and have put 2.7k into fixing it up. Biggest expense was new brakes and rotors.
Stoptech street performance. Probably worse than stock but still plenty for street/autocross and a lot less dusty
Macan GTS’ are going through hell right now with PSCB brakes. Plenty of tickets just saying to replace the pads and rotors and customer to monitor lmao.
