anyone got some leads on a good value?

don't need high performance, but i pull my 6x12 with 2 race bikes in it every now and then.


usually i choose rockauto, but for this , there are so many choices.

ECS? suncoast?


thanks a bunch!

ECS Tuning

I highly recommend ECS Tuning.

You have an '06 S, right? We have all the kits in stock here.

LOL

yes, 06 S

what's the "honest" difference between the two sets? i mean hard facts.

brake distance? lifetime? ...

thx

IMO - brake pads are like tires; they're never great at all things. OEM is probably as close as you'll get to consistent performance in cold, wet, snow, dirt, heat, etc - but they dust like crazy. I've never found a pad that didn't dust, and still had OEM performance in all seasons. Often times, it's the wet and cold where initial bite isn't quite the same. If your braking needs are a bit more narrow, you might be able to run a different pad that doesn't dust, and be completely fine.

Rotors, on the other hand, are a bit more nuanced. I've read in a lot of places that zimmerman supplies many of the OEM rotors, and that rotors are like batteries, a few companies supply most of the industry. On other cars, I've never had a problem running the big OE companies' rotors. When I go to do my brakes, I'll be using OEM pads and either meyle, zimmerman, or brembo rotors. Whichever is cheaper.

Im very very happy with the Centric unslotted cryo treated rotors and ebc yellowstuff pads.

ok, i checked it today, pads are down to 3-5 mm, the rotors aer nice and evenly worn, but they already have an outer rim, so i guess they are down.

i like the idea of slotted & drilled rotors, my wheels are dirty all the time anyway, so i don't care about the dust ... good initial bite, that'd be nice.


so i guess i got 330 mm rotors, right?

furthermore i need pads, sensors, the clip set? what else?

thanks!

The main difference in our Cayenne brake kits is the pads. The Hawk HPS pads in our Performance kits are a High-Performance Street pad and will have less bite below 100º F than stock pads, but will outperform them in any other scenario, along with dusting less. The Bosch pads in our OE kits work just like stock pads, and dust like stock pads, but are designed to be less noisy.

You have 350mm front and 330mm rear rotors. You should also replace the caliper mounting bolts, as they are intended for one-time use only.

Hawk HPS is the best pads for Cayenne. Lasts 20% longer than stock Textar/Brembo pads, with nearly same bite and WAY LESS dust. Get the rotors and sensors from ECS.
