CoffinHunter,

I have to agree with RandallNeighbour concerning brake jobs. Super easy.

Here are the two DYI links I used when I first changed brake pads and rotors.

Boxster Projects | Brakes | Change Pads

Boxster Projects | Brakes | Change Rotors

I took my car to a brake shop for brake fluid flushes/changes.

I only changed brake sensors if my brake wear light comes on or a brake sensor wire brakes (and in that case my brake sensor light came on).

I purchased my pads, sensors and rotors from RockAuto.

I purchased a brake kit (cotter pins, spring clip, retaining pins and extra caliber bolts) from Pelican Parts. The kit was cheap insurance.

When I changed the pads and rotors the first time, back in March 2011, all the parts cost me a approximately $180.00 including shipping.

Good Luck
MNC-I
