Engineered for endurance, club racing and vintage track use, these pads provide dependable braking performance with minimal wear. Ideal for vintage drivers who want serious control without the aggressive feel of pure sprint compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle h6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-with-icon gap-4\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle h6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-with-icon gap-4\"\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content prose\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pad set for classic Porsche 911 front calipers — part # 0045.97.15.44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e97 Compound: endurance‑competition material offering smooth bite, excellent modulation and very flat torque curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for classic Porsche 911 (approx. 1978–83) and vintage track\/caliper setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for club racing, historic events, track days and high‑seat‑time vintage use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentler engagement compared to sprint compounds—less abrupt, more controllable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent pad\/rotor wear behaviour makes it a smart choice for older hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProper installation and pad bedding strongly recommended to maximise performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Vehicle Fitments:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-scroller\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr data-cow-cart-observed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlfa Romeo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlfetta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1975 -
