Totally realized that after I installed 3 of them on the wrong side....My OCD would not allow them to remain backwards.

Ha. Making sure the point on the Porsche shield center cap points to the tire valve is OCD......properly installing an engineered part the way it was designed is just the right thing to do!

+1

BTW, here’s a tip on how to tell which are which if L and R are not stamped: https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/i...Path=6446_6515

Does anyone have a DIY on calibrating the electric park brake after brake changing on a 2013 991.C4S??? I Just changed out the rotors and pads and trying to use the PORII (which is really confusing) to reset but it keeps failing the calibration process. Now its showing the "Electric Park brake in Service Mode" all the time. Brakes have no issues other than the service light constantly on...Has anyone else experienced this issue ??

Slightly off topic here, but what's the best method for measuring the wear of disc/rotors? I see there are digital calipers out there for measuring rotors and simple gauges for the pads. And if using the digital calipers, what are the specs for replacing rotors?
