These 'YellowStuff' Pads are Carbon/Kevlar Construction - But have Good Grip for Road Use (as well as High Temperature Use - On Track)

As for ATE Super Blue / Gold......

Ate Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid.

Sorry I do not know anywhere in Greece that has this...........

If You Have Problems Locally - Private Message Me - And I will Buy For You, and Send to My Greek Friend..............

Re: brake pads and brake fluids

I like the OEM brake pads (Textar) that came on my CS for everything but driving on track. I use PFC 97 compound pads for track, but the OEM pads for autocrossing and street. I use ATE fluid, but I think the Porsche OEM fluid is a very similar formula, if not identical.

Re: brake pads and brake fluids

Some of us in So FL have been using the Pentosin Racing Fluid w/ 572deg dry boiling point. It is relatively cheap and I have not had any issues at the track or on the street. I was using Motul 600 but I think it was overkill and it is not cheap. For the track I use Pagid pads, and on the street factory pads.
