987 Cayman S Brakes


Barks

Recommended Posts

Just had the beast serviced and given a clean bill of health by the boys at CCMPS. However I was given a heads up that the brakes would probably need to be done next service. Has anyone changed rotors and pads themselves? I've done pads and rotors on a 325 BMW before and pads on many other cars is the Porsche any different? Where is the best place to source parts? OEM or other suppliers? I would welcome any advice. Thanks

yep, I have done them myself. Piss easy.

If you are careful removing the sensors, you wont need to replace them. But it's easier and cleaner to replace them at the same time. 

I bought all new rotors and pads from Pelican  when the dollar was 1:1 and the freight was cheaper. Genuine Porsche was approximately DOUBLE. At the time I didn't know about Bob Whymms or Autohaus, so I would suggest calling them.

You might not need new rotors.. I did it cos I was excited.. should have just had them skimmed for $100.. you'll need to measure them to see if they are within spec.

Happy to help over the phone if you want some advice.
