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 was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
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.
The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.
They're great pads, and when you've fried them you'll get a new set under FCP Euro's lifetime warranty.
The stopping power was already crazy good with just the fronts an I could feel it right away its already better, I can't wait till they are bedded in. As far as 4 piston brakes goes I think these are by far the cheapest an best option to go.
I've already had my 3.2 TT at the track (same brakes) and after the 3rd session (out of 5) the brakes began to fade. Also by upgrading you would also get a weight saving although with these HUGE brakes prob the same (lol). Actually I still think even with these you'd save 20-30lbs for both corners.
Macan GTS’ are going through hell right now with PSCB brakes. Plenty of tickets just saying to replace the pads and rotors and customer to monitor lmao.
We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.
