OEM discs/pads or aftermarket
Discussion
Textar pads are the OEM pads, and they are made by the same company as Pagid (TMD Friction GmbH). I fitted some Textar this afternoon to my RS, and in the past have compared the Textar pads to Porsche ones. Absolutely no difference - incl down to the same Textar marking on the back and same part no.
For Textar, I go to Euro car parts which are much cheaper than Porsche main dealers.
If you take your car on track often, I wouldn't bother with the anti-squeal shims and pad wear sensors as you'll save a fair bit without them. I tend to change the pads every few months and therefore wear sensors are not needed - I go by track mileage.

Is the hammeright fix good - no blistering when they get hot?
I may well have a go 'cuase the ones on my car look rubbish at the momement
silver or gray?
There is a slight bit of blistering (you'd have to look close) - next time I will use the high temprature paint. But these have been used extensivly on tracks days and trips to the ring. In fact you cant even see the silver paint now as they are covered in brake dust
