Yet another newbie looking for input on brake pads/rotor brands

[mmassey0125]

It is all a mater of personal choice. I always use genuine Porsche replacement parts and always replace the sensors, hardware and dampers. I purchase from ************************************************** **.com.

Porsche doesn't make brake pads or rotors.

There is no *Best* as far as replacement pads and rotors. Finding a set that works well for your driving style at a price you can manage delivers good value. I have used Brembo, Zimmerman, Mahle, and Sebro rotors with little noticeable differences in performance. I prefer plain rotors over drilled and slotted rotors over plain.

For street pads, any OEM pad will work and some produce less dust than others. I used Texar and they were fine for street but did not stand up to high heat of track work. For a DD street car I would choose them again.

We have 5 automobiles at our house that I take care of, I have used Bosch Quiet Cast rotors with great success on all of our vehicles. For Pads if you are just doing street use I have had great luck with Akebono...almost zero dust and very quiet.

Thanks, I'll add these to the list to consider.

You should know what you are talking about before you speak. Very rude!

Porsche doesn't make brake pads or rotors. I know what I'm talking about.

It's called "OEM". Original Equipment Manufacturer. Porsche doesn't make them, they just buy them from a manufacturer and put their name on the box.
It's odd that you don't know this.

You sir are ridiculous. Porsche does not "make" spark plugs, mass air flow sensors ore 1000 other parts for their cars. But that does not mean there are nor genuine Porsche parts for each of those.
