So just cross check the numbers at multiple sources first before placing order.

Part numbers for the calipers are 986351421 & 986351422 and point to Porsche 986 2.7 Boxster 1996-2004, but I can’t find decent pads for the 2.7 (but I can for 2.5 - are they the same?), they seem to be around for 987 though, did the calipers change for the 987 or will those ones fit?

I have a set of Porsche brembos running on my track car but I’m a little confused about what pads I should go for, I am currently running DS1.1 but they are due for replacement, demon tweaks don’t appear to stock them anymore and there appears to be some confusion my side if I’m looking for 986 or 987 pads.

Thats good advice, thanks - I am not going to be ordering from them, I'll use demontweeks as I have a few things to order as well, but I might grab some reg numbers of the classifieds and shove them into ECP to make sure the part numbers on the brakes all correlate.

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.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Hey peeps, looking for some help from the Boxster hive mind regarding pads. I have a set of Porsche brembos running on my track car but I’m a little confused about what pads I should go for, I am currently running DS1.1 but they are due for replacement, demon tweaks don’t appear to stock them anymore and there appears to be some confusion my side if I’m looking for 986 or 987 pads.
Part numbers for the calipers are 986351421 & 986351422 and point to Porsche 986 2.7 Boxster 1996-2004, but I can’t find decent pads for the 2.7 (but I can for 2.5 - are they the same?), they seem to be around for 987 though, did the calipers change for the 987 or will those ones fit?
Anyone else running different pads? Like Pagid, CL or Carbotech?
Thanks

What car are they on? Most of the online parts suppliers allow you to enter your reg to give the correct parts
ETA: sorry just realised that you are talking about using porsche calipers on a different car. Why don't you check the part numbers on Design911 or Rose Passion. They usually say which models they fit
And yes the 2.5 and 2.7 Boxster 986 used the same pads

Thanks for the reply, this was super helpful - I didn't know about either site but it appears Design911 list the callipers I have as fitting both the Boxster 986 & 987, 2.5 & 2.7 as well as the 2.7 987 Cayman
So now its just a case of researching which pads to use, the DS1.1 are great but weighing up options.
Be a little careful with Design911 part numbers... few friend have had instances where the number is just wrong and the part they receive isn’t what they expected.
Eventually all corrected but PITA to chase up and return items etc.
So just cross check the numbers at multiple sources first before placing order.

I just needed a push on where to start. The Design 911 site looks useful for a lot of things.
I'll have a Porsche myself one day!

The Boxster 3.2 uses the same calipers and discs and obviously pads from the 996.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
