Best place for 996 discs and pads?

[Raven Flyer]

I need new discs and am looking at non dealer options.

Any recommendations for parts supliers? Its a 996 C4 02.

I did search, but it didn't help me.

TIA.

I have a full set of 996 brake pads. I've sold the car so they're gathering dust. I can sell them on if you like. They are OEM porsche texstar pads.

i bought my original porsche pads, disks, shims and sensors from design911.com

ordered them on line friday lunchtime. they arrived monday morning. the cost was about 20% lower than my opc. all parts were boxed as porsche genuine parts

http://www.eurocarparts.com or http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for the discs. If they're standard C2/C4 discs then you can get the OEM parts in Porsche cartons or try an aftermarket manufacturer from either of these sources.

For pads, I buy either Pagid (which AFAIK are the same as Porsche OEM pads) or Performance Friction (who will be able to offer more choice if you want a fast road/track pad for instance). Do a Google for the pad suppliers.

You will save much more than 20% if you buy the parts and fit them yourself. It is a very easy job on a 996. Make sure you get new caliper bolts though.

Texstar are the OEM Porsche pads (I think)

I'd also go the Eurocarparts way.
Installation is very easy, the instructions are below.
