Brake pads OEM Porsche or WILWOOD
It's honestly very low maitenence, the only thing that's slightly more costly than "normal" is your oil change due to the larger volume needed for these engines. Brakes are cheap of you do them yourself, not really different than other cars though. As far as reliability is concerned, it's top-notch.
For whatever it's worth, I had these on my B7 A4 and then S4...I had no issues with the brakes on the S4. Felt great and definitely an improvement. I definitely felt a difference when I had a full car of people and did a complete stop with everyone inside the car. Car just stopped.
Here's mine. MMP adapter brackets, stock 11" rotors, BP20 pads. Work very well.
I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.
944 Turbo brakes are definitely a step up from standard 928 brakes, they are all aluminum 4 piston jobs front and rear.
brake – the PCCB’s giving huge retardation with an equivalent, solid connected feel. And on and on and on you go all the time at one with the machine.
I got my brakes yesterday, they are freakin awesome, finish looks really good. i am going to put them on this weekend
I do like the wilwoods on my car, stops good, lots of choice in brake pads.
i had them on my mk3 jetta and there was a huge stopping difference without locking them up. a very good investment , initially they came with hawk pads they were too noisy and i switched to ebc pads and i loved the brakes quiet and stopping distance was probably reduced by 1/3
the Wilwoods are quite light. they don't have much pad contact area though. the big advantage with the Stoptechs would be the cooling and contact area.
