Bosch Brake pads

Rating 4.0

Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.

So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...

Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.

Pros: handbrake works correctly
Cons: pins bent, poor installation

OEM Porsche Brake pads

i had this same work done on mine after i brought her home last year. cost about the same (im in a HCOL area). did the air filters myself, saved a few bucks. but everything else: brakes, spark plugs, etc... 08's are a .1, if its yours, might as well add in a borescopes through the plugs for piece of mind!

Vehicle: Porsche
