Default which Porsche(s) is the StopTech ST40 caliper from? 928, 944, 959?

I'm trying to search for a replacement set of Axxis Ulimates. As well as get a set of Hawk HT10 pads for the track. My Pagid Oranges are also done and I'd like to try the HT10s.

I purchased my StopTechs used and the prior owner had less than half of the AUs left and he purchased a set of Mintex Reds that I hate. I finished off the AUs, but am stuck driving with the MRs. I thought I'd suffer through the winter, but I can't take their poor performance and deposits on the rotors.

Well, on the back of the box of the MRs, it lists the '85- 928, '87-89 944 and '88- 959. but, when I search around online and I've even email a few places, they come up with different PNs. wtf?

Default my first night with them, I tried a few ~50 to 5 mph stops and they faded around the 5th or 6th stop

then, on the highway at 80, I nailed them to take an off ramp 'as usual' and they shuttered badly and then didn't want to stop the car. total junk.

Default D372

D372, D447 or D609 are the FMSI plate numbers.

Default *hides from RKA's hand* thanks!

how much for the Carbotech? I don't mind dust or rotor wear. all I care about is performance for street, and then another pad for the track.

I used Axxis ultimates and like those on the street. Mintex Reds are about to go in the trash.

I really liked the Pagid Oranges on the track. they lasted about 9 track days and to/from for a couple of those events. I'd like to try the Hawk HT10 next. it's for a higher temp range, which my braking habits need. I was also thinking about going up to the Pagid Blacks, since the Pagids worked well for me.

Default *slap*

The Axxis pads probably most closely resemble the Bobcat compound. They have a slightly higher bite than the Bobcat, but they're quite a bit dustier. Both are good up to 900F, good for a short track, aggressive driving, or the street.

Panther P+ (1106) would most closely resemble the Pagid Orange pad. Good up to 1250F (vs 1050F for the Orange) they'll have the edge over Pagid in temp range. These are kind on the rotors squeaky when warm, and dusty. Good for beginners on open tracks, and still certainly useable on the streets if you don't mind the dust.

XP (1108) will be similar to the Pagid Black, but again hold a slight edge. Temp range good up to 1350F (vs 1200F for Blacks). Dusty, squeaky, all the signs of a good track pad. Still fairly kind on rotors, just barely some grooving. Not for the street.

XP (1109) is for the hard core. It's designed for expert track enthusiasts with a 0.6 coefficient and good over 1400F. Track only.

XP (1110) not really suggested for the A4.

Shoot me an email regarding these if you're interested.
