I appreciate the response, T
Travis, a number of the brake pad manufactures make a "high performance street pad", which will likely improve your street brakes and extend pad life, although they also cost more.

If you start doing DEs I would strongly suggest that you buy a set of track pads like PAGID Orange or Blacks, Hawk HT10s, etc. and change the pads before and after the track event. The 964s and 993s have some of the easiest pads to change quickly that you will find on Porsches.

Also be aware that as you increase the braking capability of your car you will reach the point where the street tires are the limiting factor and you will get into the ABS well before the brakes are fully utilized. The track pads will work best with R Compound track tires. I would be happy to help you down the slope of of track preparation....
