Macan GTS brake pad replacement

[Andyandyhall]

My 2020 GTS needs pads after 27k miles, thinking of changing them myself. Anyone done it?
Which pads are the best option?
Do I need to change caliper bolts and do I change the sensors too?

Many thanks

I’m not one to diy a lightbulb change but I’m on Macan Facebook group and lots of guys DIY the pads.
If you’re slightly competent in a bit of car maintenance I believe it’s straightforward and considerably cheaper than OPC.

Fronts are not too bad, you probably need 2 warning wires, if they have the pins holding them in get them, if they are the bolts we don't always use them.

You can purchase genuine Porsche front pads from 'Design 911', this should not invalidate your warranty if you fit the Porsche parts, my 2021 GTS with similar mileage as yours are also getting low, and I intend to replace them myself...
