Brake pads TRW or OEM Porsche

I didn't touch the calipers, I thought the calipers were ATE, but could be TRW. I only changed out rears at this time, fronts are still the same. The pads are TRW ceramic something or others that came with zimmerman rotors in the cheapish FCP kit.

I like the stock TRW performance pack pads on Brembo rotors. Stock PP brakes are more than good enough for a daily driver that gets occasional spirited driving. I also got 65,000 miles on the original set, which is a bonus

One of my inner rear pads went at 110k. FCP euro has a full brake kit front and rear rotors with Zimmerman and TRW ceramic pads for around $400. It's OEM style replacement, so no real upgrade performance to speak but it's a daily not a track car and the price was right.

Zimmerman blank rotors + TRW pads. I just did my first brake change and these are silent and cost less than $400 for rotors/pads/bolts/grease.

I also supplied new rotors, pads, and all fluids and pads. My bill was $650 at a Porsche specific independent shop.

I swapped my stocks for TRW/Zimmerman pad/rotors and so far they feel good.

I have Akebono on my 330 and TRW Ultra TXC1171 on my 328, I have to say the TRWs have excellent bite and the brake dust is minimal as well.

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.

I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet

There is a lot of markup on those parts. A full set of TRW pads for an S60 can be had for a little over $200 inc GST from Repco and Repco ain't cheap.
