I getting ready to replace my OEM pads on a 997 GT3 and would like to get opinions on Endless pads. Can anyone please comment on these pads. My car is driven 80% aggressive mountain roads and 20% track and my skill level is intermediate. Other suggestions different brands are welcomed.

 

Pagid yellows will last all season.

 

Endless is quite popular amongst the Japanese tuning scene, I've heard great things about them but haven't seen a 911 application. If your usage is 80% aggressive, you'll go thru the pads quickly enough that it should be worthwhile giving them a shot for comparison's sake.

 

PAGID P50.

Used by 997 CUP S here in GT3 european championship.
It's green colored, and better than yellow pagid RS29...

20% more expensive too....

 

I'm using Endless ME20 on my 997 GT3, so far they feel very good, very good modulation, I have only used them for three events (tomorrow at sebring will be the fourth).
I was using pagid 29 before, I have to say they both feel good, maybe it is to soon to have a complete opinion regarding durability. Pagids lasted about 10 track days.

 

What was the price difference between the two brands ?

 

Price was almost the same, I have to check, but the complete set up of F & R was about $780.00

 

i would like to hear what you end up going with

 

Endless ftw! I'm not just running their pads, but also their BBK's on my 996tt, so far they work like majic and the car stops on a dime!

 

I'd like to hear more about them too before I give them a try. I go through about 4-5 sets of Pagids RS29's a year. Heard the Manthey uses them, and in general i'm very happy with the Pagids except for price. Good on rotors, last a relative long time, good feel, trade off is not too much bite. Pagid blacks have more bite, but last too short and are aggressive on the rotors. The green P50 pads are the pads that you can use if you're just doing aggressive street driving, and not doing any real tracktime.
Gus keep me posted, If the Endless pads weren't just as expensive as the Pagids I would give them a try, but I hate to spend $800 then find out I like the RS29's better

 

Gus,

I look forwar to your report after Sebring.

 

Pagid RS29 is also my pad of choice; I use them for track and street. Would also be interested in an update on the Endless.

 

My trackday at Seabring went very well regarding the performance of the Endless Pads, they have great feel, very controllable, good initial bite but not excessive. ErikG, if you use 4-5 sets of pads a year you definitely have to give them a try, even if the price is the same as pagids R29, you may like them a lot.

I still have to dismount the pads to give a good check to the actual wear and predict how much they are going to last. I also have to say that I had to change my OEM rotors three weeks ago, and my last two events I have use the endless pads in combination with the OEM replacement Brembo slotted rotors , and some of the good results could be related to them too!!
So far, and if they last the same or more than the Pagids R29's I will keep using them!!
