996 Brake Pad Reccomendations
#18
I recently replaced the pads at all four wheels with Hawk Ceramics. When I painted the calipers last summer I used the opportunity to install some stainless lines and I also flushed the brake system, including clutch, with ATE Blue ....I could not be happier. I don't track the car, it's my daily driver, and it has more brakes than I will ever need, hopefully ;-) ...and the best part is there is virtually no dust compared to the Porsche/Mintex Pads the dealer installed a couple years ago. I bought the pads from Tire Rack, hardware kits from Pelican and I reused the vibration dampers . Not a single sound from the pads and my 19 inch wheels stay CLEAN! Do the work yourself, it easy and you'll be glad you did.

John L, after reading your post, I think I'm going to go with the Hawk pads now, mainly due to less break dust. Are these the pads you installed?

Those are the Hawk ceramic pads I used although the price seems to have gone up in the last few months? Shop around but I know you'll love the low dust if that's what you are after. Good luck and lets us know what you think of them after the install.
