Suggestion
I have reused both when I've done the brakes on my Cayman (a 987, but from a look at a friends 718 while changing the wheels on it, they look very similar).

The caliper bolts are stretch bolts so you should use a new set each time the caliper is removed.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys,
Does anyone happen to know the OEM parts for the front brake pads and discs for the base 718.
Mine will need replacing soon so looking to order them and get them fit by a local indie.
Thanks in advance.

Yep, they offered a few different brands (Brembo, Pagid etc.)
I have the Porsche approved warranty so didn't want to break any of the "rules"
if they are fit by an indie wont that void the warranty?

arghhhh ??????
well I would have thought so but its just a hunch.
What are the indie charging to fit them plus parts? I found the opc ridiculous, but not quite as ridiculous as I’d thought and my warranty was left intact.
How would the opc know who changed the brakes as long as they are the correct parts? They’re definitely not that organised.
To the op - design 911 offer ‘genuine’ part numbers on their psges
It is worth calling an OPC for part prices. Mine has been cheaper than design 911 fior about 38 of the 40 parts I've bought.
If you get new pads and discs at Porsche they will replace the wear sensors and retaining clips. I have reused both when I've done the brakes on my Cayman (a 987, but from a look at a friends 718 while changing the wheels on it, they look very similar). Wear sensors break easily when removed so it is probably as well getting new ones to be safe (and if they have been triggered, they will need done anyway).
The caliper bolts are stretch bolts so you should use a new set each time the caliper is removed. From memory these are about £4/bolt from Porsche.
As long as you use genuine parts, the extended warranty isn't going to be an issue. Indeed, I suspect you could use OEM discs and if the looked the same the OPC wouldn't notice. For the 987, Texar made the discs IIRC. I could find zero different between the genuine discs I removed and the non Porsche boxed ones I fitted. Though it you want to be safe, just get them from Porsche.
People get very excited about the extended warranty and for sure if you go to your OPC with service stamps from an indy and obvious mods or non genuine parts then you'll have issues. But the OPC gets paid to do warranty work so when you go in for a failed wiper motor they aren't going to be scouring the car for any non-genuine parts to deny your claim. I'd a selection of warranty jobs done on mine while it was on non N-rated tyres (a warranty no no). don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting it's a good plan to put non Porsche parts on a car under extended warranty, but it's not something you need to be paranoid about if you exercise common sense.
