Brake pads OEM Porsche or Mintex

Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.

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.

In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.

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.

Mintex is a step below the OEM Jurid/ATE/TRW pads in terms of friction coefficient. Mintex is an upgrade when it comes to dust. Right now, running Akebono Euro Ceramics... I won't come to my verdict until winter.

replaced calipers with OE ones again, uprated discs with mintex pads. worked hundreds for bout 500miles and now its playing up again like before.

I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.

You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
