New owner. Newly acquired problems

Bala - Welcome. I assume you wrench and if have done it all before, if so this will all be easy. If you are trying to save money go with the the Balo rotors (zinc coated if you want), I got them and the quality is great (made in Germany). You can get Mintex break pads for about $35 a pair, they are made by TMD and work great, just very dusty (most TMD ones are). I took my front off and put Akebono (ceramic) on, greatly reduced dust. On the O2 sensors just look closely they are the correct ones and you'll be OK.

Take your time and research parts before buying them, especially anything that is motor or motor management (O2 sensors) related. If it's not OEM make sure others have purchased that product with positive results.

Don't run out and buy any O2 sensors until you know exactly what the problems are. The OBDII codes can often show the symptoms but not the cause. A lot of O2 codes can be caused by the MAF, vacuum leaks, etc. I was getting a bunch of CEL lights for O2 issues that were caused by the MAF going bad. A shop with a Durametric or PS2 system can confirm the status of the O2 sensors. Haven't had a CEL for two years, ever since I changed the MAF. Driving an 2000 S also, enjoy yours, there is no better feeling than the Porsche perma-grin.
