Default Need brake parts...source?

Hey all,
Time for pads and rotors ...heavy to ship the latter, of course. So everyone used to recommend suncoast in Oregon. Still a good rec, or who's got the good prices on factory replacements? TIA, all!

Default 993 pads/spiders

Fwiw, for regular ( not big reds) 993, I have a complete set of F & R pads (oem I believe, Pagid/Jurid textar print on back of backing plates )with less than 3k miles and literally no measurable wear available for cheap. PM me for details/pix.

No affiliation, but fcpeuro.com has lifetime replacement on all items they sell - including wear & maintenance items like oil, filters, brake pads, etc... Buy the real stuff from them once - replace then return for a refund when worn or used up.

They have become a favorite of mine along with Sunset and the usual suspects.

Gaudin Porsche out of Las Vegas has really become competitive with online parts pricing. Check their prices as they seem to be beating Sunset by a good margin on high ticket items.

No affiliation, just passing on my findings.

Are you saying that you can return your worn-out brake pads and rotors, and they will replace them for free?

I find this hard to believe, have you actually done this?

You can. You can even return used oil and filters for free replacement.

sounds crazy, but they're trying to differentiate themselves with this policy. I've made several parts orders for my Audi and Porsche. Fast processing, and they also price match. Never returned anything though.

Annapolis Porsche on the East Coast has been great for pricing and customer service lately too.

I purchased at Rock Auto OE supplier rotors at a very attractive price. I have found that Rock auto has a limited selection but if they carry the part you want their prices are very good. I am sure they sell several options for brake pads. The spiders are probably a dealer part but it seems to me they could be reused in conjunction with a little CRC Disc Brake Quit compound.

Rock Auto offers:
Brake & Wheel Hub
ABS Wheel Speed Sensor
Brake Bleeder Tool
Brake Fluid
Brake Pad
Brake Pad Shim Kit
Brake Pad Wear Sensor
Caliper
Caliper Piston
Caliper Repair Kit
Hydraulic Hose
Hydraulic Hose Clip
Master Cylinder
Parking Brake Cable
Parking Brake Shoe
Power Brake Booster
Rotor
Wheel Bearing

UPDATE for anyone interested in buying parts:

Sunset Porsche in Oregon still rocks ...just ordered what I needed from them.
FWIW, Gaudin Porsche had nearly identical prices so I went with Sunset as I'd ordered from them in the past and they were great ...and they still had me in their system

Thank you to my RL brethren!

Edward
