I'll be with Fuscobal at the Ring too.
Since is my first time on the Ring for and I will not drive like "crazy" to squeeze everything out of the car I decided to go for Hawk HP+ pads.
I hope they are a good compromise, I will be using them also on the road to the Ring and back.

I was also thinking abt CT XP8, but after I found out that the rotors they will be installed on can not be used with other pads I've given up on them. Too much additional cost.

Very nice, thanks. Sounds like about the same length as mine but larger chord (225 I'd say)

There aren't many true racing pads colored like these:

Some time ago APR was selling these awesome (I guess) "Performance Friction" two-piece rotors
if I remember correctly and still use them on their GTI race cars with stock calipers (due to rules I bet).
They are stock size 312 x 25 mm and would be a nice match for Boxster calipers.

1. These are drilled and I am not sure they won't crack.
2. I guess they are 2 piece rotors but not floating.
3. Tarox can also make 2 piece rotors 312x25 (any types of groves) but they cost ~ 700 EURO/pair.

Yes, I know Tarox make some with the rotor you like. They even make a complete
312 x 25 6-pot BBK.

These Performance Friction aren't drilled though, just ''dimpled''. PF does it on many
'Direct Drive' kits.

Believe me, they are even better than Tarox. No need to talk about prices. If they
would still make them, I'd bet they were close to 1000,-- €.

 :confused:


BTW, I'd bet these discs are "Direct-Drive" (truely floating), but no safe information
currently available.
