Suggestion

Wear sensors can often be reused if you're careful taking them off, Porsche don't recommend reusing caliper bolts but not sure if many people actually replace with new ones or not.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all Been quoted the thicker end of £1,900 for replacement discs and pads for my 991.1 s cab by my local OPC This seems ridiculous!! Any suggestions as to how to get OEM parts cheaper or perhaps non OEM alternatives? Hoping that I should be able to halve the quote above Thanks

POST 2Original post

Just had a look at ECP and looking around £550 for discs/pads all round with ATE/Textar/Brembo stuff. Not suggesting that’s what you should buy of course but those are the retail prices of decent branded parts. Find a decent indy, maybe a similar parts cost plus a couple of hours labour. Probably get change from £800. Worth getting the indy to price up genuine parts as well.

POST 3Original post

Everything you need here for parts - https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt66_-cma81-cmo1693... Can get 5% off with code 911UK09 too

POST 5Original post

One reason for part of the higher OPC costs may be the use of new caliper bolts and wear sensors all round as a matter of course, possibly some other fastenings as well. Wear sensors can often be reused if you're careful taking them off, Porsche don't recommend reusing caliper bolts but not sure if many people actually replace with new ones or not.

POST 6Original post

To save a big chunk of money, buy the rear discs from carparts4less. The ones you want are Sebro. They are normally under £100 each with discount codes, and are indistinguishable from genuine Porsche ones.

POST 7Original post

Anyone know what brand the standard front discs and front/rear pads are?
