I have always used pagids and have just fitted new ones all round. That's a good price as well, I paid £220 inc vat for 4 albeit M030 size front discs. Can't fault the performance although I did warp a rear one within a year or so last time round. I dare say that could happen to any disc though.

For a few quid I'd go with Sebro just because they are known. On the other hand, you can be our test bed... I stuck Pagid discs & pads on our A2 but I can't say that it ever does any serious braking
btw Simon I've just found out you can get PF 08 compound for S2 and turbo calipers (not 030) - supposed to be less aggressive on discs and less dusty than 97's. IRO £120 per set

Thanks Ed. I though that Id had CL pads on my series one car, but looking back I see that they were PF. IIRC they werent listed for the ATE calipered 944 but they were for the 924 Turbo and 924S. Are the 08s less likely to damage my wheels too? Ive got a reallt pretty set of Compomotive three piece wheels in Cups sizes and the polished rims have been savaged by the dust.
With regards to discs, dont Zimmerman have a poor reputation for corroding bells? Also, every story about vibration seems to invloves new Zimmerman dics and S2s... []

I thought that you were in possession of new information! It was the wink that fooled me. [] Ive missed the dealine but I think that I will go for the Pagid discs, as Stuart has already taken point and they appear to be satisfactory.
I just have to decide what to do with the front now. On the one hand I know very well that the standard Brembos will be more than adequate with a little less weight, ducts and a suitable braking style (lots, very late), but Im tempted by larger calipers, even though I know better. Theyre shiny-shiny.

Don't get into that until there's nothing else left on the car to do...
I'm thinking of coining Hodgson's law of old Porsches - every time you spend money on shiny bits you don't really need, something else will always break and cost you double what you've just spent [
]The standard brakes are great - with the right setup - although the m030's are even better. If you're coming to bedford, some & see how good mine is [

Shiny is good.

Shiny is alluring, but you need to choose them because they do the job better. If they don't do the job better then don't choose them ...
Whatever happened to Zimmerman disks? I haven't heard of them for three or four years, although back then everyone seemed to be selling them.
