991.1 gts front pads
Discussion
it's just gone past 13k miles and pads need doings, the dealer is recommending that I have the disks done at the same time. Total cost £891.
The reasoning behind this is that they have seen some instances where new pads on old disks cause undesirable noises etc.
Interested in your experiences here, how long should a set of disks last, how frequently you change them etc.
Thanks

Is it a Porsche main dealer who’s quoted you for this work..?The reasoning behind this is that they have seen some instances where new pads on old disks cause undesirable noises etc.

Unless you’ve done lots of track days and fried your brake pads, I’d be amazed if they need changing after only 13,000 miles. Likewise for the discs, unless they’re warped, they shouldn’t need changing either. I’d either ask for a second opinion, or ask for pad and disk thicknesses versus the minimum recommended.
Also, as long as the brake discs are not warped or grooved, and not worn down to the minimum thickness, then you can run new pads on old disks.
