P-car procedure seems as though its a pretty normal set up on these cars, should only need to replace the screwhead bolts which secure the discs to the hubs.

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.

I'm looking to replace my corroded discs and worn pads (993 C4) and i'm planning on doing them meself.
Any recommendations as to where to get good priced OE parts and or other quality pads??
Also, anyone know of any DIY links for this task as no doubt Porsche will have fitted some part which requires a special tool to remove!?
Cheers

Thanks Warren, i've used that site before for an alternator change out but couldn't remember the address - it's like a haynes manual with decent pictures!

Best to bed the new discs in on your old pads or vice/verser

No any car any age, it helps to prevent a sort of glazing effect on them and squeeky brakes, its more important on cars with large discs like Porsches, cos theres more surface area to create these types of problems.

Nice one Rob, would've just stuck them on at the same time without that advice.
Found OE discs and pads delivered from design911 foe £485 which seems ok to me. Was wondering about getting Pagid or Green/Red stuff pads tho?

Dunc...you should also change the caliper bolts as well, its also worth calling OPC parts for a quote if you are porsche club member(10% discount).
Euro carparts sell the brake sensors. if you are planing on replacing them.
For Pagids I used a company called performance braking Tel:01600713117, I also bought Castrol SRF(brake fluid)
