Replacement Porsche pads for 993TT calipers

[Hopsta]

Can't believe that you've gone through those pads already Dunc ! you were the last person to have them fitted too [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

i make them £55 ?

Paul, i just checked with Porscheshop.co.uk and although they list them as £55, they are in fact £75 + VAT.

Type911 seem to be the cheapest at £66 + VAT

Both when asked if they were genuine pads said yes, and when i said who makes them (I said is it Mintex?) they both said Textar.

Porscheshop also do EBC Greenstuff pads too for these brakes, £98 + VAT, but I have had no problems with the standard pads so I will stick with them for now.

So looks like its going to be type911 then!

PS I emailed Gert in Belgium but his prices were not as competitive.

Thnaks for all the links/advice

Pads are on and feel fine - just a note, the low brake pad sensor doesnt fit, so dont bother buying that from here.

it would be good to see the correct fitting and know where we can get this from. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

I'd be interested in this too, looked at my pads last week and there not far off replacing.

The pad sensor does fit, you just need to modify it.. Bolting my on shortly!!!

How do you guys find the dust on the 993TT pads?

[sitas3]

dust on the 993 TT pads is better than standard, but not as good as the greenstuffs. my car is now back on the standard Audi brakes and the dust is horrendous!!

A question re: greenstuff. My local workshop recommended that if i put greenstuff on the 933tt's then I should put greenstuff on the rears..

is that true??

how are greenstuff on your porsche/audi rotors with standard street driving?

[sitas3]

IMO the greenstuffs are slightly harsher than the other pads i've had, thus wearing out the disc quicker and could also run slightly hotter.. For the geeks, the coefficient of friction is higher or something!!

BTW shouldn't matter if you have standard pads on the rear..

Thanks mate! I think ill try Porsche pads and see how they go, if they are too dusty ill go EBCs

[DuncS3]

One other thing I forgot to mention. When replacing the pads it was seen that the rotors were a bit loose. So next time you have the wheels off check the screw that holds the rotor in place.
