Had the same issue with my 987.2 S, ended up upgrading to a GT3 master cylinder and brake ducts, giro disc rotors and RS29 pads. Obviously running decent brake fluid and change it regularly. It’s now great and can handle many laps of Oulton Park without fading.
My 981 Cayman is very maintenance friendly. I’ve done oil, transaxle oil, spark plugs (tight space but doable), brakes, etc. It is quite a bit easier than the 718 since you have to remove underpanels to gain access to the underside of engine/transaxle.
I had the same problem on my 2021gt500 and the dealer put in new pads, solved the problem.
We bought a 2011 Ford Focus everything looked good, drove well. I took it in for a service and front brake pads were down to 2mm. Cost me $1050 for an essential service and repair but now I have peace of mind.
I had a 996.2 and an early 2.5L 986 and I loved the Boxster more. One of the best cars I've owned. I drove it back and forth from NC to WI several times. I am 6'5" and had luggage room to spare. It made better sounds than the 996. It was not very fast. It was pretty easy to work on and every single DIY job is well documented online. It was really comfortable. The handling is awesome, the brakes are awesome. Even the base ones.
I own a 1999 996 C2. I have had the car for over 10 years. I bought it with 70k miles, and it now has 169,000 miles.
It is in the garage now waiting for front brakes. Have the parts, just got busy.
I'm not sure if it counts, but I put porsche brakes on the front and TTRS brakes on the rear.
I have a 2021 BS BL with 28,000 and have no issue with the water pump. The squeaky brakes in reverse drives me nuts though!
Brakes are too touchy, more than any other vehicle I've driven.
Ford fusion, shitty undersized brakes for the car
