brake issue

[rdass623]

spongy brakes are a sure sign of brake fluid contamination. address this issue first! any additional issues can be resolved when it is time for a brake job. if you are feeling like doing a preemptive brake job, that is fine, but not a necessity.

The BoxsterS will have a spongy peddle. Porsche increased the brake caliper size? but didn't increase the master cylinder size over the 2.5/2.7 cars.

You can bleed them (good idea) you can turn the rotors (good idea) even though we just replace them when worn ($140x2)

If you **really** want a firm pedal? 996 GT3 M/C is in your future

They are so cheap now, even good aftermarket ones. I installed a set of cross drilled ones (front) on my S for $220 bucks and they were Bosh...peace of mind is worth a lot.

Thanks for the advice I'm hoping to get the work done this weekend will let you know the results in due course

On a Boxster are a 1 banana job...do it yourself and save a ton'o money
