Replacing 911 performance brake pads rear ?
Hi,
a while ago I upgraded my rear brakes with so called "911 performance brake pads" and slotted powerstop rotors. They work very good - especially combined with my Movit front brake.
Now it's time to replace the rear pads and I couldn't find 911 pads anymore.
Looking for a QUITE pad (no noise) that has a good bite.
A looked through the threads and often found Hawk HPS. Are they quite or more on the noise side of braking ? Are the 911 pads still available?

I think the old TRW/Autospecialty 911 Extreme Performance pads are now called Z36 Extreme Performance Truck and Tow or Z26 Extreme Performance.
I only see a Corvette listing for the Z26 pad.
The 911 pads were typically sold along with powerstop drilled rotors. I had a set at one time.

You maybe able to still get some old ones if you do some digging.

I now use Hawk HP+ linings front and rear. They dust quite a bit, and squeal a little, but they are effective.

I'd say Hawk HPS pads combined with ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid. That's the setup I had on my former E30 BMW DD and they worked great! I had absolute brick wall brakes.

I have hawk hps and they destroyed my baer rotors. Looked like metal to metal contact and no track use. bedded properly and heat cycled etc just a few hard stops and cya later rotors. I'd suggest a street pad if you are not tracking your car.

"0" noise
I have them in stock calipers with stock rotors.
I'll be upgrading to slotted rotors this spring and I'll post how they work together.
I ordered my pads from the Tire Rack, I think I paid about $86 for the front and $40 for the rears
