Need a 6 pot front set. If its say made by Brembo or Texstar supply OEM going direct may save over a ton!

There is a lot going with these ones - the caliper bolts need replacing too. My idea of £100 and an hour on the drive has long flown the nest! But at the end of the day its just a DIY for a pair of pads - no need to pull any pins either.

Porsche as crafty as ever and I cant seem to find who they get the pads from before adding 200%. I maintained a 535d for 5 years with exact same as OEM parts from GSF - saved a fortune. Struggling to let that wiliness go!

Thanks guys. I noted in that pic that the calipers said 'made in Italy' too - now who could that be... wink

I decided my compromise was DIY with OE bits but its terribly confusing what bits come with it - you need the caliper bolts and spring clips and likely sensor wires. People that may give a discount also guess what is in the 'kit' but on the same part number Porsche are selling all the bits separately. The price difference is £150 so not peanuts. Looks like rears come with the clips - maybe! I'll get to the bottom of it - eventually!
