I can't find a pad set for the 924S.......am i being a dummy or don't they do one? I was advised on here that they do. Assuming they don't what does everyone use? I have brake fade issues.
 
Have Mintex 1155 on the front and 1144 on the rear with Racing Blue fluid and new OEM discs. Absolutely no issues. Am I right in thinking fade is usually from fluid issues rather than pads? Either old fluid contaminated with moisture or air

Quite possible i have fluid issues as the pedal gets very spongy sometimes, i'm going to start using racing blue but my most immediate problem is changing the worn pads. If PF aren't available i'll see what else is easily gotten hold of.
 
If you have a spongy pedal then you should start with fluid. The bests pads in the world will not change a thing with contaminated fluid!!!
 
If the pads are very worn, has the fluid level dropped low enough to get air into the system?
Spongy pedal is almost certainly fluid related.
 
ISTR Carbonne Lorraine pads are popular amongst the 924 racers? Pagid seems to be the pad for later cars with the Brembo calipers, something like Yellow up front, blue in the back. They surely do pads for the earlier calipers but they won't be cheap.
