Any recommendations on changing the brake pads on a 2013 Panamera base?
Also, do I need new rear pad retainers? Can I just use Textar brand pads of do you recommend OEM Porsche or are there other better pads for about the same price?

Are you looking for the procedure? If so check here: http://www.insanegarage.com/category/diy-projects/

If you have no other experience OEM is not a bad way to go, I have used EBCs in the past on my S8 and likely on the Panamera as well as I hate dust on my wheels.
