Bonjour

I've just got a 996 Targa - 53 plate! Love it

However, problem - Brakes! I need to replace the pads and the discs, according to my local porsche garage.

1600! Not too much of a problem, but was wondering what people think about RPM Technik, read a lot about their CSR upgrade, any experiences on PH?

Any other specialist worth consulting?

Thanks!

Hi fellas,

Ahh - well it was Porsche Centre East London, the quote was done after a service.

The brakes if I'm honest aren't brilliant - I have to pump very hard to get anything and with a car of that capability the whole system needs to get done,

What do you guys think I should do? Want a Porsche specialist - am I just paying for the name?

If you know anyone it'll be great! Aberdeen is a tad bit hard - but may be a good road trip - lol!

I also thought maybe I wasn't used to the feel - but then my mate who has a 997 drove it and said it was a bit unnerving.

I genuinely do want to go with porsche products as all the recipes of the car have been porsche through and through.

I'll ring around and report back how much I can get them done for

But 1600 is a bit ridiculous! Allow that - lol

Edh - Deffo rust on inside!

The car is a 53 plate and has 40k on the clock - it barely gets used.

So I was quoted £1217 by RPM Technik. Spoke to Lydia who was great and reassured me about their work. To be honest, you just have to open a copy of EVO to find out about their CSR's.

I'm probably going to book it in later this week. I'll let you guys know how it goes!
