if I upgrade to 987 rotors/pads are they larger/heavier or same size? lighter?
i'd only do it if it was better for performance. the stock brakes are great - i don't need "bigger" blingy looking rotors. i know the 987 has more power than my car so they may have put larger brakes on it..perhaps larger than I even need.
i dont want more unsprung weight. are the 987 pads/rotors bigger/heavier?
i just got a call from the dealer. they want $800 to do the front pads/rotors and $780 to do rears.
i went online and found pelicanparts... i know there are plenty of other places to buy OEM parts, maybe even cheaper..but my first search generated a cost of about half what the dealer is quoting me... so 1/2 the cost is labor.
from past experience on other cars, pads and rotors is a no brainer easy job. it might even be fun. my dad is selling me his car - it's in teh shop now for the PPI. the only thing the car neededd is brakes and tires. my dad offered to help me put on the brakes - fun father son thing.. even at my age of 36 it would be fun to spend the day with dad doin brakes.
i'll probably just stay totally stock. i noted some websites sell generic zimmerman rotors... or cheaper pads...
what pads are considered OEM? pelican had pads by Mintex, pagid, and Textar. they state textar is the OEM supplier. also the most $$
