Porsche 911 991 Brake Pads

The 991’s pads are listed by model, mostly axle by axle. The 991.1 Carrera 3.4 and the 3.8 Carrera S, 4S and GTS have front pads of their own, while the 991.2 Carrera S, 4S and GTS share theirs with the Turbo, GT3 and GT3 RS. The GT2 RS Clubsport and GT3 Cup car appear on some race pads.

No pad here is graded OE-type, so a road car starts at the street grade: EBC Redstuff and Greenstuff 6000, and Hawk’s HPS 5.0, HPS and ceramic PC. The sport grade, for fast-road driving and the odd track day, covers EBC Yellowstuff, Bluestuff NDX, Ferodo DS2500, Hawk HP Plus and Girodisc’s GP10.

The rest are race compounds. Pagid’s Street+ and its RSL, RST and RSC families are all graded racing, and Ferodo lists DS1.11 and DS3.12, the latter also thermally bedded. Girodisc’s GP30, GP35 and GP40 come in Endurance Racing or Racing versions. Hawk quotes DTC-60 and DTC-70 at 205 to 870 °C, with optimal bands starting at 370 and 425 °C.
