I'm big on OEM with Porsche's so I bought stock rotors. I hated the brake dust caused by the stock pads so I went with Akebono ceramics. The dust went away but the pads feel numb and harder than before. You won't need new sensors as long as the light is off and you can re-use the anti- vibration pads ( some have run without any successfully). Porsche recommends replacing the caliper bolts with an updated version once they're removed- a triplesquare versus the original allen - those damned engineers!

All you guys complaining about brake dust need to start using this stuff. $7 at WalMart. Works GREAT:

Triple square (XZN) or TORX?
