What This Product Does:
- Replaces worn or heat-stressed front brake discs
- Restores braking bite and smoothness with fresh pads
- Ensures accurate wear warnings with a new brake pad sensor
- Reduces brake noise, squealing, and vibration
- Improves stopping distances and pedal consistency
- Restores safe, balanced braking performance across the front axle
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Squealing, screeching, or grinding noises
- Vibration or pulsation through the brake pedal or steering wheel
- Reduced braking performance or longer stopping distances
- Brake warning light triggered by the sensor
- Visible rotor wear: grooves, scoring, heat spots, cracks
- Excessive brake dust or uneven pad wear
- Soft, spongy, or inconsistent pedal feel
- Vehicle pulling to one side under braking
Why Replacement Matters:
- Front brakes supply most of the stopping power. Fresh pads and discs restore safe, predictable braking.
- New rotors and pads return braking behavior and pedal feel to Porsche’s original standard.
- Worn pads can gouge rotors; warped rotors quickly destroy new pads. Replacing both prevents further issues.
- New components remove brake squeal, pedal shake, and vibration.
- A new sensor ensures your brake warning system works correctly.
- Replacing discs, pads, and sensors together avoids repeated labour and ensures even wear.
- Proper braking maintenance preserves both performance and resale value for the Porsche 996.
