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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi there, I have a 2002 996 targa and need to get front/rear discs and pads. I do not race and want to keep the car reasonably stock. My garage is recommending Sebro discs and textar pads (and new sensors and shims). Is the above good? Or should I be considering something else eg Brembo. many thanks andrew

POST 2Original post

They're all OEM suppliers and suggest you speak to member Matt ( www.type911.co.uk ) for more advice on the differences. Discs and pads are relatively simple DIY job, so you may want to save on the labour and upgrade on the parts

POST 3Original post

Just DIY'd a set of discs and pads on the rear of my 987.2 Boxster, much the same brake design as your car. I installed Brembo discs and pads, simple job and the opportunity to tweak the handbrake setting. Braking is good it feels to me, the ones that came off were the original brakes, 87K miles old, down to 3mm pad thickness. Car is a simple road touring use car.

POST 4Original post

Hi Andrew, Your garage’s recommendation for Textar pads and Sebro discs is fine. I believe that Textar are Porsche’s pad supplier anyway, although Porsche parts will have a dedicated part number, so the OEM part should have the same or a very similar spec. I think Porsche has a unique disc supplier, but Sebro are a well-established and reliable OEM supplier. Jeff

Hi Andrew, looks like we have a problem with your email bouncing back! Call me if your still interested

POST 6Original post

Need to replace discs and pads on my 993. Are OE OPC supplied discs more corrosion resistant?

POST 7Original post

When I changed our 993 discs both the OPC parts manager and local Indie advised NOT to get the Porsche discs for low use cars saying Porsche discs suffer higher corrosion than alternatives with higher carbon ratio in the steel.
