Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2005 987 2.7 needs new pads and discs. Just wondered what thoughts were as to best choice currently? Car just gets road use, no track days. I've seen some Brembo units on Design 911, are these worth a slight premium or am I paying for a name?

POST 2Original post

The £20 Textar (who I think are the OEM) pads on ebay are fine. Likewise for discs, stick with Pagid or Brembo and you'll be fine. I have used Textar pads/Pagid discs on the road and track and they are fine. I wouldn't personally buy stuff like this from Design911 as they will be charging you a huge premium for the same product you are buying from ebay. If you are averse to ebay, just a local motorfactor will be able to get you the discs and pads needed.

POST 3Original post

Sebro discs. Textar pads. Textar are OE suppliers, and I suspect Sebro are too. Speak to these guys, cheap as chips : P W Europarts Ltd 30 Two Gates Lane, Halesowen, West Midlands, B63 2LJ 01384 565300

POST 4Original post

ATE discs are OE I think. Textar pads as mentioned. I don't rate Brembo discs for what it's worth! ATE much better IMO.

POST 5Original post

shalmaneser said: ATE discs are OE I think. Textar pads as mentioned. I don't rate Brembo discs for what it's worth! ATE much better IMO. I've had issues with both Brembo and Ate. Though to be fair, I've had less issues with Ate. I've only used the Sebros once, but they were perfect.

POST 6Original post

Euro Carparts do a sale towards the end of the month. I always thought the stock setup was Brembo. To be honest with ATE, Textar, Jurid or Pagid I don't think you would go wrong. If you wanted to enhance the braking system then I would look at AP Racing...
