Common Vehicle Fitments:

For enthusiasts restoring or racing a classic Porsche 911 from the late ’70s to early ’80s, the PFC Brakes 97 Compound front pad set (part number 0045.97.15.44) is a standout choice. Developed as an endurance‑friendly competition material, the 97 Compound features lower initial bite compared to sprint-oriented compounds, but boasts outstanding modulation, a very flat torque curve and excellent release behavior — especially useful for vintage calipers and older brake systems.

These pads are well‑suited for club events, historic racing, track days or vintage car tours where durability, predictability and long pad life are priorities. While they provide strong performance, their gentler engagement makes them a great match for older brake hardware and drivers who value refinement as much as performance. For a classic 911, this means you can drive harder with less stress on your rotors and calipers.

Installation and proper pad bedding are recommended to unlock full performance. Ensure your calipers are rebuilt or in good condition, the rotors meet spec, and you follow the break‑in procedure to optimise the friction surface. If you’re building a vintage car for track duty or want a pad that won’t overwhelm your classic braking system, these 97 Compound front pads deliver performance you can trust.
