DE brake pads and rotors

[crstfr]

Hi to All

I have looked over the forum for an answer but i am still confused. I have been told I need new Rotors and pads for my car. I plan to use the car for one DE event (2 Days) the rest of the time regular road use. I plan to get the zimmerman rotors (powder coated). As for the pads I am confused. What do you suggest I was told padig (but what colour) i was also told Mintex. I have to get this togeather this week I will be doing the work myself.

Thanks to all

Christopher....

To me Porsche brake questions are pretty simple. Unless one is going to develop a prepared track or autocross car, it would seem to me stock rotors and pads will do an exceptional job on a daily basis. I do several DE's a year as well as full autocross season and find the stock setup to work fine. If I was a bit more committed I might change to a better pad for DE's but all in all, stock Porsche brakes are great. Not a big fan up upgrading to cross drilled rotors, but would consider slotted if and when the time comes....
