I will have to replace rotors and pads soon for my 2008 Cayenne GTS. Wanted to get your opinion: should I go with stock OME pads and rotors? Or are there better package out there.
Thanks

Ecs- like oem package and you are good to go

I bought everything needed for a brake job on my 2008 GTS then decided to buy a new Turbo S. Let me know if you are interested in the pads, etc.

I initially bought slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads....they were truly scary and almost caused multiple accidents due to the lack of stopping power. I changed to EBC redstuff pads and night and day difference. MUCH better stopping power and still less dust than stock....I definitely recommend them.

I am going with EBC red stuff soon as well.
I have 20% left on my pads my mechanic stated. Isn't there a sensor for pad wear?

check Deman Motorsports.

There is, on my CTT there is a sensor for each pad (so 4 double sensors, one on each brake) which I`ve never seen before (generally theres one sensor on one front wheel and one of the opposite rear and each of those only fits onto one pad)

The Cayenne is pretty foolproof in that respect

Thanks for the info, in addition to pads being mentioned how about the Rotors: use the OME rotors?

Rossi

Would anyone know the minimum thickness of the rotors before replacement? I have 2009 GTS.

On my Lexus ISF the rotors are 30mm thick (new) and need to be replaced when get to 28mm thick.
Wondering if 2mm shaved off goes for all the big brake setups.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Front min thickness 32mm

Rear min thickness 26mm

Thank you for your response. Great info!!

Time for a break job is here. Got some goodies to put on early next week.

- Racingbrake 350mm two-piece front rotors
- EBC red stuff front & rear brake pads
- ECS exact fit front & rear stainless steel brake lines

I find these ^^^^ to be an upgrade to the stock setup.
I will post the feedback after the brake job is complete.

Do you mind posting prices and or links to these items.

Love the brakes. Lots more brake feel now. The rotors look amazing, noticably lighter than the OEM ones. I always wanted the RacingBrake rotors after the high praises
from the ISF forum, the only disappointment is that rear rotors (unlike for the ISF) are not offered by Racingbrake. When my ISF needs new rotors I will get all four corners for sure.

EBC red stuff pads look awesome with the red calipers. They suppose to be low dust. I will report back on that. So far so good. Great stopping power. Don't forget to order the wear sensors!!

Brake lines were a pita to install in the front, rear was easy.
