Ivan,

Nice DIY video.

When I was reinstalling the spring clip, I inserted a phillips screw driver in the outside hole that the pin slides into, and then leveraged the spring clip toward the pads. That allowed me to slide the pin in about half way without much effort. Try that next time and I think you will see how much easier it is to reinsert the pin.

Great DIY video on brake pad install.

I was going to install ceramics on my sister's car after I painted the calipers, but the "standard suspension" brakes are different than the brakes shown in any of the pictures on this thread. I was on the phone with Hawk and they do not make a pad that fits this caliper. EBC claims they do, but according to their customer service rep, there are none in the US. Has anyone else come across this? Anyone found a ceramic pad that fits the standard suspension caliper? Thanks!

What do you mean by "standard suspension"? Do you mean a non-PASM vehicle, a non-S? Hawk do make a ceramic pad for a C2 with no PASM.

On the EBC site, they list pads for "sport suspension" and "standard suspension". The sport suspension pads are like the ones seen in the pics on this page, the standard are the ones that are on my sisters car. I was using their terminology, not mine or Porsche's. The car has a "Sport" button and a "PSM off" button. For some reason, I cannot upload a picture to the albums, but here is a pic of the caliper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1c...it?usp=sharing

They look like normal Carrera calipers. Forget their terminology, what is the year/model?

Zapna

Its a 2010 C2 Cab. Hers is a pic of the two different pads:

Here is a shot with my sister's caliper (white) and the caliper form the video a couple of posts back.

Notice that they are quite different.

By "sport" suspension they mean a Carrera S not a Carrera. This is what I used on my Carrera, but I believe they are different for a 2010.

Don't go by the Hawk parts finder app, I ended with a set of wrong pads doing that. I would call someone like Pelican, they will know what you need.

Zapna

I called Hawk direct and they don't make the pads for the base model. I looks like a place in FL has one set of the EBC fronts. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

For those who are in the same predicament I am, the EBC part numbers are:

Front: DP32057C Rear: DP31930C

In case you're wondering how the white calipers came out:




(and yes, I know the car needs a bath!)

PhilD

That is possible as it looks like they changed for 2010, but as I said, I wouldn't go on what Hawk say. The pads I used are listed on Hawks website for a 2010 Carrera 2.

PhilD

Don't see them in white often, they look good!

Sorry to bump this thread, but are there any interested parties for a group buy on these?

I would.
