Default 997.2 base brake pad change - parts verification

Ordering some Pads.. just want to confirm parts. If there is better stuff to recommend, let me know.

I don't need rotors, those are in good shape. Its a street car that sees 2 track events a year and maybe a couple of AutoX.

  • Front Brake Pad Sensor - 2 - 99761276900
  • Rear Brake Pad Sensor - 2 - 99761275400
  • Caliper Mounting Bolds - 8 - 99906705309
  • RedStuff Front Pads - DP32057C
  • RedStuff Rear Pads - DP31930C
thanks for the feedback.

If your not taking the Calipers off, you don't need to order caliper mounting bolts.


Depending on the condition of the dampeners, you may want to order a set of them.

The base brake calipers are not an open back design. He will have to remove the caliper. With that said, if you aren't tracking the car, the bolt replacement is optional. On the flip side, it's recommended and if you don't change brake pads often, why not do it.

I know many folks that only replace the bolts every other caliper removal.

Gooad advice about he dampeners. But again, plenty of folks remove them or reuse them.

Thanks...

So I took the calipers off once before to paint them. I didn't replace the bolts or the dampeners then.

I will add the dampeners to my list... Good suggestion. Do you happen to have the part number for those?

Also any experience with the redstuff pads?

Default Dampers and sensors

I don't see dampers in your list of parts which is just as well as, in my opinion, they're not needed. Same goes for the sensors. You don't need'em. If you opt out regarding sensors, be sure to leave the old sensor connected and if the sensor is broken, you can solder it, cover in electrical tape, and tie back out of way.

No, but checkout Suncoast's web site for the dampeners.
No experience with Redstuff pads. I just have experience with real race pads, PFC, Pagid. For street driving I'd stick with OEM or something equivalent that is cheaper. The OEM pads are very good.
