Brake pads OEM Porsche or OEM Mercedes
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
I also supplied new rotors, pads, and all fluids and pads. My bill was $650 at a Porsche specific independent shop.
I don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.
This is how a \u00a33.5k bill for Porsche brake pads and discs turned into a \u00a31.8k bill for me. Using the same OEM parts, but at a Porsche specialist not main dealer.
the only issue I’ve had with it is the brakes squeak sometimes. They work fine but it annoys me and they say it’s “normal”.
brakes on a cayman are pretty straight forward. DO NOT reuse the caliper mounting bolts they are one time use bolts. Also do yourself a favor and spend the money on factory brake pads and rotors.
It's not hard at all. One thing you want to watch out for is that Porsche is adamant about not reusing the bolts that hold on the caliper, so make sure you order a fresh set.
Most Porsche enthusiasts hate the Panamera eHybrids. I have had my 2015 for 3 years and absolutely love it. Best handling 4 door you will find. Regen brakes are squishy. I tool around time on all electric and then have fun other times.
Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.
Just changed brake pads on the S65. Discovered an oil leak, likely from a turbo line.
