What Brake Pads To Use

I'm going to replace the front and rear brake pads on my '67 911. No vented rotors. This is only for street use.

What pads would be a good choice?

Thanks,
John

I used these on my 67S: Porterfield R4S pads. Go to Porterfield web page to seek appropriate pads for your car.

Make that three of us. ("Thirded" was too short of a reply. :rolleyes:)

another Porterfield R4S vote from me! use them on my hotrod.

I agree as well, and also used them on my Ford Fusion years ago.

Thanks guys!

1. Porsche OEM (Ate or Textar) – These are tried and true for street use, offering a great balance of stopping power and longevity without being too aggressive.
2. Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 – These pads are a good step up if you’re looking for better performance while still being street-friendly. They offer excellent cold bite and reduced brake fade.
3. EBC Greenstuff – Another good street pad choice that provides better stopping power and reduced brake dust, though they’re a bit more aggressive than stock pads.
4. Pagid Orange – These are a bit more performance-oriented but still work well on the street, providing great feel and power without too much heat buildup.

While I don't doubt these are good options - and there are people who've used them - I'd put more weight on actual posters' experience than this AI-generated response. Of course, the AI had to scrub them from somewhere...

FWIW. For my 1973.5 911T, I have been using Mintex MDB1068 for years with my vented rotors.

I do HPDE’s, Autocross, and spirted driving with these. They do not dust excessively, are rotor friendly and inexpensive.

Here is the Mintex spec for the pads I use. If you have the old pads, verify the dimensions. https://www.mintex.brakebook.com/bb/...atasheet.xhtml

Is anyone else as interested as I am in these AI generated responses? They are curiously generic and yet persistent in their desire to help us to an obviously flawed resolution. What gives?
