Question for those running Boxster calipers: what brake pads are you using?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25673/2003_0413image0041.jpg"></center><p>I am getting ready to buy new pads & was looking for recommendations.

I am currently running OEM Boxster pads because I got them dirt cheap.

I want a good street pad. I currently don't track the car.

Something with good bite. Dust really isn't a big issue. I'm more concerned with the performance.

Thanks!

Carbotech Bobcats. So far so good.

Once you get them to operating temps, they bite good.

Haxk HPS here

Just installed mine last weekend. Definitely has more brake power than stock

Hawks have the same bite as EBC greens and OEM, but with less dust

Hawk HPS

I'm happy with them. Alot better than stock once they are warmed up. They do dust, but less than the stock pads..

I dont like burning up my track pads which have no cold bite

and are really not DOT legal/safe for street use. So street pads to the track... swap at the track.... its very very easy.

(edit) I forgot which Hawk pads I'm using

I currently have the Hawk HP+ pads installed in the front (Boxster) and rear (stock caliper). I use em on both track and street. But for next season I'll be getting the EBC yellows for track use, and like Phil I have a set of street pads (PBR ceramic). I guess the only reason the Hawk pads are still on my car is I'm lazy because I fix other people's cars all day.
