Brake Pad Recommendation for ST60/ST40

[0-60motorsports]

Give Danny Puskar a call at G-LOC (https://www.g-locbrakes.com/). He can give you very good insight into what pad compound suits your needs. I run their racing pads which not only work exceptionally well, but are easy on brake rotors.

Thanks buddy, I'll do that. I just need pads that are good for the street and once a year track run on the Bahrain F1 track and that's also just to blow the carbon build up out of the motor lol

No spot for the stock wear sensor that I can see - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-stoptech...309.12470~stp/

Thanks for posting that link! I dont know why when I put the PN in on the site it wouldnt come up for me. They seem be out of stock so i'll just order from elsewhere.

Alright, So i upgraded to ST60/ST40. Still looking for recommendations for front pads but i thought i saw that Stoptech make a set with the brake pad wear sensor. I cant find a link to them now but if anyone knows and can confirm that i would love to order those.

These look like a great deal though:

They should fit.

Some Porsche pads are an extra 1mm thick and require some sanding to fit into the Stoptechs. Not fun.

Not sure which ones are extra thick.

I’m going to try these out. Removing a mil off of them is not an issue as we have machines in the shop that’ll make it easy lol

Does anyone know if these will for ST40 front calipers for our cars

Thinking of going with the PFC carbon metallic pads for my ST40

For the street, try StopTech 309 compound pads. I think the brand name is Sport Performance.

The porterfields are a street/light duty track pad. Keep in mind that my car is not street legal...but they were OK for track use in my very light car with brake ducts. They didn’t last vey long though.

I searched for “Porsche 968” pads and scored them new from eBay for $40 and $80. Can’t really beat that!

Oh that’s an excellent deal! I’ll try eBay now. I don’t use my car much, maybe 4-5k a year.

Hey guys, just to piggyback off of this thread, I am looking for street pads for my ST40 355mm kit for the fronts. Any suggestions and links for some deals? Thanks.

Thinking of the Porterfield R4-S high performance street pads

How do you like z3? I hear they are kind of ok at everything but don't really stand out as great at anything? Good for turning laps, but there are cheaper options kind of tire?

i just installed them, so no time on them yet. I came from the RS4 so I'm curious how they feel. I have a few friends that run them on their modded e36s (one's a cammed/airbox s54 swap) and on the track they love them. I guess we'll see how they go.

Direzza z3 as of right now.... might grab a second set of wheels and run NT01s or the nankang
