Best Prices on Brake Parts?

[MytinyBoxster]

I need to replace my rotors and pads on my 02 base model. Where is the best place to order parts?

Thanks

I'd say ECS Tuning for after market?
For OE parts, you have plenty of websites with parts cheaper than the dealership.

Depends on how much money you want to spend. I put a set from this company on my daughters car and they have been fantastic.

Front Rear Kit Platinum Hart Drill Slot Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads 2551 | eBay

or you could go with black rotors.

Front Rear Kit Black Hart Drilled Slotted Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads C2550 | eBay

Other then that I have been looking at ECS Tuning like already mentioned.

I went with the PowerStop ceramic pads. I am happy with them, very low dust, no squealing, and they stop great. Have not done a AX with them, but have done a bunch of back road spirited drives as well as 2 track days just after I installed them and was very happy with the performance

for my 04 S they were around $45 per axle

Did you keep your current rotors on or did you replace them? If you did replace them, what rotors did you go with?

Thanks guys, will look into these sources and update you. Kram36 how long has it been since you did your daughter's car? Any squealing?

Thanks

I put them on in February. No squealing at all, except during the break in period, very slight at that. All brakes do that. The quality of the rotor actually looked better then the oem rotors. There is still no rust on the rotors, they look as good as the day I put them on.

Check out Zimmerman coated rotors. They are a good replacement for the oem.

I have a full set of Zimmerman coated rotors for a base Boxster that I cannot use since I sold my car. The rears are new-in-box and the fronts have one full track weekend at Chuckwalla on them. They are heavy so shipping might be expensive but a local LA/OC guy could save some $$ and help me clean out the garage.

Kram36 I ended up ordering the black set w/pads, I got the tracking number should arrive Friday.

I have one more question, do I have to replace the sensors or can the old ones be reused? I inspected the brakes and the rotor are severely worn, they have a ridge on the edge, however the wear indicator never lit up. The only reason I checked them was because the brakes have a severe squeal when you first apply the brakes. Is this normal? The brakes still stop great except for the squeal, current mileage 41k.

Thanks

You can reuse the sensors. No the brake squeal is not normal.

I also bought Power Stop drilled and slotted and Ceramic pads. I like them .The kit came with sensors.
