Hi
Had my 08 BoxsterS serviced at an OPC so far. Needs new pads and discs all around. OPC has quoted me about 900 each end. Independent Porsche place about 500 each end. Any advice? The mechanic I use for my runaround says he can fit Brembo discs and pads all in for 600 front and back. Anybody got a good deal from an OPC? Will probably keep the car for 18 months more.
Cheers

Believe me they need replacing. I have seen the with the car on a ramp during MOT, and not at the OPC who havent yet seen the car.

Just dont have the time to DIY. Could buy the parts and get my mechanic to do them for me. He services his own 911.

Thanks for the tips. The best the OPC would do is £1550 for both ends. Too much for my 08 car. I will buy the Textar or Pagid parts and get my mechanic to do them for 600 all in.
