might be a dumb question but i am assuming they can be used without ceramic disc's right?
Yes, they are available for steel discs. The question really is will they be appropriate for our brakes and will PAG sanction them?
One thing I would never mess up with is the brake system.
Why new pads? Do they last longer, are they shortening the braking distance? I highly doubt it. Keep off your hands from such stuff until Porsche gives their OK (which they probably will never do because the brakes on their cars are really something which doesn't really need improvement).

I agree! I posed the question because the issue was raised on a popular TV motor show. I've since talked with a number of Porsche experienced people and they all nixed the idea of using anything other that the manufacturer's pads on Porsche brakes. End of the affair.

Re: Ceramic disc pads...
I own a 05 997S with PCCB. The car has 38000 miles on it (I like to drive it) and the wheels are spotless. They do not have any drake dust on them, period. None ever accumulates. It is a beautiful thing and perhaps the best reason (most practical) to upgrade to PCCB. The rotors look brand new as well. Stopping power is incredible, handling is noticably more nimble with the reduced weight.
