Brake pads ENDLESS or OEM Porsche

This is how a \u00a33.5k bill for Porsche brake pads and discs turned into a \u00a31.8k bill for me. Using the same OEM parts, but at a Porsche specialist not main dealer.

brakes on a cayman are pretty straight forward. DO NOT reuse the caliper mounting bolts they are one time use bolts. Also do yourself a favor and spend the money on factory brake pads and rotors.

It's not hard at all. One thing you want to watch out for is that Porsche is adamant about not reusing the bolts that hold on the caliper, so make sure you order a fresh set.

Most Porsche enthusiasts hate the Panamera eHybrids. I have had my 2015 for 3 years and absolutely love it. Best handling 4 door you will find. Regen brakes are squishy. I tool around time on all electric and then have fun other times.

I replaced the pads on with Endless MX-72. Similar progressive bite to OEM, just more and WAY more thermal capacity. They feel like the ultimate brake pad. Using OEM rotors, I've had zero \"warping\" since switching over. This leads me to think that the rotors aren't actually warping but the nature of the OEM pads leads to pad deposits on the rotors. I get close to 60,000 Miles out of a set and have never considered another pad after discovering them.

I just put on some Endless MX72s. But they are for performance street and occasional track use. And they are not cheaper or probably less noise. But I do expect a great deal better wear with them than stock.

I can't recommend the 2nd gen cars enough. I bought my 958 on a whim because dieselgate deal and ended up absolutely falling in love with it. As far as costs, surprisingly in my case, it was "nothing is cheaper than an expensive Porsche." YMMV, getting dieselgate pricing and selling during a boom obviously helped, but I just sold it on Monday after 2.5 yrs, having it from 60k-90k, and trade-in (towards another Cayenne) was more than I had paid. In terms of maintenance, only things not on the schedule were brakes once and the winter tires once, wipers twice, and fixed one broken e-brake and one broken brake bleeder.

They're great pads, and when you've fried them you'll get a new set under FCP Euro's lifetime warranty.

Not cheap, but Endless makes perfect street pads that last a long time, are quiet, very little dust, good cold bite, and high coefficient of friction and heat range.

I bought some Endless SS-Y's from FR-sport and they're way better than the stock pads in every way. They don't even cause dust.
