997 GT3 Gen1 Brakes and Geo

[mwmackenzie]

Hi there folks, I'm looking for some new brake pads for a 997 GT3 Gen1 with a track bias also some geo settings as I'm going to get the this sorted too, what would be a good track set up? Where is the most cost effective place to get the pads from?

Many thanks

Probably pagid pads are best, not sure where is best for a geo in edinburgh.

I have ceramics on my car and the standard pads from Porsche are made by Pagid, not sure if this is the case for steels though?

Thanks guys, which pagids do you recomend?

I'll use CLCM for the Geo but need the settings if anyone can help?

Thanks again

Yellow pads up front and black on the rear is the general consenus for Pagid's track pads.

Pagid RS29's

Change brake fluid to castrol SRF too.

The RS29 front / RS14 combo is only for the 996. The 997 doesn't need the extra rear bias so RS29 all round would be the starter.
As for geo. No magic numbers. It's all personal preference and use. You will be wanting more negative camber and to adjust the sway bars but where you end up will really be a suck it and see thing. Start looking around -2.5 deg camber at the front and -1.8 deg on the rear and take it from there. Front toe is personal but you need about 16mins of rear toe per side. Much less and you're in for a wild ride.
If you can't dial out the understeer with pressures/tyres/sway bar then look into a larger rear bar. GT2 one apparently helps those who still need more but this is only anecdotal.
