996 GT3.2 discs and pads
Discussion
I need new discs and pads. I have OEM discs and pagids currently, a combination that I have found very effective. I am therefore not particularly derirous to upgrade to Alcons and my car remains OEM in every way except geo.
I am however interested in any up to date views on other pads; PF etc - else I shall stick to what I know and like. Did I read somewhere that OEM discs can be bought direct from a manufacturer cheaper than the stock shelf at an OPC?
Thankyou!

Thanks Jack. I also see that design 911 sell some OEM manufacturer discs - which I assume come from the same factory without Porsche stamped on them. And those too are priced so much like a consumable as to make alcons / PF / even Giro seem expensive for what may be marginal improvements.
Re budget. There isn't one, my only consideration being value for money and as I think several of us are finding the OEM / Pagid type setup, at these prices, is a very effective combination, including for track work.

And that's really what I was getting at. Consumable vs less consumable and it seems Jack and I have no problem with the braking performance on these oem type discs with more aggressive pads for track use. I think I will try these- if they work for Jack am sure they will work for me. Thanks everyone for thoughts and links.
To add - thanks to Jack's German supplier link I have just ordered new F&R discs and Pagid RS29 / 19 pad combo for £1000 delivered inc taxes. Which seems jolly good value to me. I will update the thread once fitted and in service as to wear / effectiveness. Thank you to all for advice and ideas.
