I'll swap you your £90 for my £180(not fitted) i paid for my OEM pads from Porsche or the £380.42 price for fast road Pagids.

Any of the Cayenne caliper crew using any uprated pads? and where did you source them? Going to Nurburg next year and not sure if the OEM Porsche pagids would take the beating.

Come on S4TAN, how are the brakes??

They look pretty good (pics to follow soon) - the calipers and discs are 2nd hand so aren't exactly new and shiny (paintwork a bit tatty on the calipers but discs in good condition) - Doug fitted 8 new RS4 pads so the brakes definitely need bedding-in!

For those interested, the spec that i've got is: RS6 calipers and B7 RS4 discs with B6 S4 wheels - ET35, and 3mm spacers necessary for the wheels to clear the calipers. It only needed 3mm spacers to clear because of the design of the wheel - the spokes are 'flat' and don't recess inwards towards the brakes.

Got your self some decent stoppers at last!

So envious, you can always tart your calipers up when you feel like it.

They were sorely needed Paul!

Nice one. A little jealous if nothing else of the status of having "8 pot" brakes, but I am still very pleased with my 4-pot Porsche setup. They are just the ticket and as future proof enough as I require brakes:power wise.

I also love the way mine look, but it really is an essential upgrade regardless.
