Experimenting with brakes and rotors

[toolfan94]

Thanks for the info, and yes that does sound like a nice setup,but since I'm limited budget wise with the holidays coming along :ah: , I'm willing to take the risk.Of course I'll have my my back up rotors and pads which are still in fairly good condition

Well if you can, pick cross drilled only, I understand the dollars, I'm in a tight place too. Before my re-injury, I put that set up on my car and not only has it never squealed since, IMO it has noticeably better performance.

Unfortunately this company only carries drilled and slotted rotors as apposed to the cross drilled rotors that eightsandaces mentioned.Ill probably get them in in the mail
sometime next week since thanksgiving is coming up.Cant wait to try them out, hopefully my rain forest metallic green boxster makes these bad boys stand out

toolfan, if you look around you will catch the drilled only rotors on ebay and on some parts sites now and then. If you go with the units you already selected, I'm sure they will be just fine, more pad wear maybe, no big deal. I highly recommend buying the anti squeal liners, they even worked on the Fiat brakes, 1971 technology. Worth the extra 10

I put German made Balo's and Mentix pads on mine for about $300 from Pelican Parts. Fit was perfect. Extremely happy with the setup I have.

Same here and very satisfied.

Do not forget about ordering new bolts for your calipers as they are recommended to not reuse old bolts.

I would'nt personally try to cut corner with brake parts on a Porsche..

It's just like putting crappy rubber on a such nice handling car.. :P
