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.

Sweet! The bast part about a brake job is the burning smelling of pad compound bedding it in after your done. Congrats Steve! How long did it take you per corner?
POST 3Original post
Good job Steve! Did you measure the rotor thickness from old to new? Just wondering how far gone they were.
POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Chao- about 45 minutes per corner. Pete- The rotors had a pronounced lip on the outer edge so I figured it was time, but I didn't measure the thickness.

old rotors and pads.JPG Look closely at the 'chunk' of pad material on the rotors, that was a reason to change out with new.
POST 6Original post
wtg Steve one of the easiest jobs and the more rewarding feeling - I really like working on brakes! (well...like is such a strong word...but you know, if you have to work on one system...its a pretty simple one to work on)

You bet Ed. The grinding sound and pedal feel was not right. Now the brakes are quiet and very smoothe.
POST 14Original post
Big difference ah? Did you go for OEM pads?
POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
From AutohausAZ I purchased Textar pads, claimed to be OEM compound. Also got the Zimmerman rotors there and I really like the quality. Huge improvement over the 56k miles on the OEM rotors.
POST 16Original post
Holy cow those old ones are in bad shape. Enjoy your stopping power!
POST 17Original post
I run Texstar's in the 86' even some track duty...great pads IMO (although I am shopping for a set of track pads for next season)

Ed....take a look at the Carbotech X16 pads. http://www.ctbrakes.com/pads.asp?Make=Porsche I like them and they are pretty affordable.
