Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
Sometimes the rotors are not worn so much that you can put pads in, but more than likely the pads and rotors are worn such that both need to be replaced.

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

hey everyone, I need new brakes for my 99 C4 any suggestions where to get a reasonable pair, so im not spending an arm and a leg at the Dealer? maybe a webiste? thanks

POST 2Original post

Are you looking for new calipers? You say a pair, fronts? rears? Why not have yours re built? jim

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sorry, i didnt specify i just need Brake Pads, Maybe rotors

POST 4Original post

Are you capable of installing new pads yourself? Have you looked at our hosts 996 brake pads? Do you have a favorite repair shop? Sometimes the rotors are not worn so much that you can put pads in, but more than likely the pads and rotors are worn such that both need to be replaced. If you had a Honda they turn the rotors to get useable rotors with no ridges and this allows the new pads to seat properly. Most people just replace the rotors and pads, and if needed change the brake fluid. Jim

POST 5Original post

No point being "cheap" on brakes. Porsche OEM brakes are the best for nearly all uses of your car. Same with the pads. Check our host here or search online. There are some dealers (suncoast?) that have great prices for OEM equipment. And changing them is something you can certainly perform yourself, learn about your car, and save $hundreds compared to a dealer or even an independent shop. Pick up a manual and have at it!
