BRAKES
hi guys,my car has just been into the local porsche specialist and has had to have quite a bit of work done,front wheel bearing and hub replaced and a set of pads,it turns out the front discs are actually f***ed,i wanted to ask for a bit of advise before i go ahead and change them,
1.is it worth going for a set of second hand discs
2.if not how much should i be looking to pay for new ones (roughly)
i was also thinking about putting the turbo brakes on,has anyone done this conversion and if so is it worth it and how much did it cost for the discs and callipers.
thanks a lot chayten

A few things you might want to consider; OE Factory rotors last longer than Zimmermans, have hubs that don't corrode and if you shop around they aren't that much more expensive (mine were actually cheaper but Porsche pricing has gone up in the past year).
