[s-cars] 993tt brake pad Q's

[Theodore Chen]

IMHO, if you are happy with your brakes and the brake pads you used, why
mess with them?  you've already got everything installed and working.
i would just buy the same pads and get another enjoyable, trouble-free
40-45k miles out of them.

i've got the same brake setup on my car, and i'm happy with it except for
a slight squeal when coming to a stop (but it's a minor annoyance).

i don't see any need to put bigger brakes on it.  it's a street car, after
all.
