I will need to replace the brake pads on my 99 996 c2 3.4 6spd. before long. Two questions. After market pads or OEM? It seems there were quite a few OEM manufacturers and several pads are made by the same. If within tolerance can the drilled rotors be turned successfully as it seems people just replace them.Mine are cross-drilled. Again, OEM or after market? I do not track the car and hate wheel dust, Ha, Ha. I have have seen the DIY's on here and threads just want up to date info. Thanks,Robert.

IMHO it's pretty hard to screw the brakes on these cars both OEM and after market seem to work well.

If you decide to go with performance pads be ready for squealing and reduced rotor life (race cars take more maintenance).

No performance pads. Are there any that seem to give off less dust? I realize the softer OEM type will give more dust but I don't need hard ones. What do you think about turning rotors? Thanks
