couple of quick questions
I've priced full OEM parts on pelican for my boxster brakes vs. zimmerman and "oem supplier" textar pads.
all OEM genuine porsche = $950
zimmerman + textar = $750
I also ordered 4 brakes sensors, a motive bleeder, and fluid. essentially it's a $200 savings to get zimmerman rotors and textar pads.
for street driving - am I goign to notice any difference in these two options in terms of stopping power?
also - if I get the zimmerman rotors and want to PAINT the hats - do I just get the caliper paint / hi temp stuff at the local pep boys? do you brush it on or get spray and mask off the braking surfaces? do you guys use a gray color, black? what??
i don't mind painting 4 hats to save $200. i can spray them and let them dry overnight, then install the following day.
the dealer wants $1600 to do it for me. they offered me 10% off..so say about $1450 parts+ labor. all OEM stuff.
if I did all OEM parts, i'd be at $1000. 450 labor seems kind of high. if they woudl come down to 1200 i might bite and just let them do it... half of me wants to do it for teh "Fun" and half of me doesn't want to spend the time or get dirty.
i have to take the car in anyway for the vacuum leak...
they also do tires/alignments while it's there and I need that too. they are goin to get me bad this time..
i need that too...
