UPDATE-

I went online looking for cheaper sources for OEM parts and found much cheaper prices at Suncoast POrsche in Florida.

Whereas Pelican wants about $140 for each OEM rotor, costing you $280 for a set, Suncoast sells a set for $209. equal savings on the rears.

their OEM front/rear pad sets are cheaper too.

buying the whole set of rotors/pads from suncoast nets me a total cost of about:

$650.

If I buy all new caliper bolts, 4 sensors, some brake fluid, and then some caliper paint/stickers to make my base model brakes all "pretty"...some brake fluid, and buy a bleeder tool - I'd be out the door for around $750-800.

the cheapest independent guy I have found wants $1300 for a full set of front/rear brakes - pads/rotors using all OEM genuine porsche parts.

so do it myself and spend $750 or so (i could even paint the calipers red if I want to)

or, pay a pro to do it, and spend $1300.

DIY would save me about $500

i was all resolved to just pay the mechanic to do it - now i'm thinking maybe of doing it myself and getting the parts from these guys. this is by far the cheapest i've found OEM parts.

no sales tax buying from out of state too!
