What non S brakes do you have

[jimmythemufflers]

Thanks for sharing info about your brakes.

After the tires, brakes, engine oil & brake fluid change I still won't be near $2,000. 2015 set me back $160 for 2 oil changes. 2014 $500ish for oil changes, drive belt & and a shiny fleabay muffler. Maybe if you go to the dealer and randomly replace parts you could reach $2000? I would imagine with a higher mileage Boxster you will shell out some dough to keep it running like new ESPECIALLY at the dealer.

I put this on two years ago. Mine is a daily driver, not a track racer. I'm happy with the results.

I don't think they are better or worse for street driving, I do think they look better though.

Better at dispersing heat under heavy driving, notable on track, not on the street. Cheap drilled discs are worse than solids due to their tendency to crack under heavy driving (even though they're supposedly designed for heavy driving). If you want better discs but don't want to pay for expensive drilled discs, then dimpled is the way to go. They're quieter also.

Or get dimpled discs and throw some GT3 brake ducts on the fronts to help with the cooling. They're very cheap even from new

Sorry, but that is b…****************.

Break discs drilled or slotted to get a faster break response it the discs are wet. If you don't have holes or slots you have a water / steam layer between disc and brake pad for a short time. That's why they started to put drill holes in the discs in race cars.

Cheap discs are normal discs that get drilled. In high-quality discs have the holes already included in the cast which are redrilled later in. These discs also don't tend to have stress cracks. But they are much expensive.

If don't drive in rain you don't need any drilled or slotted break discs.

Ah, I stand corrected, good to know how they actually work, I was told something different.

But there's absolutely no need to respond like an angry little boy, "that's not true" would have sufficed.

Cheers.
