2008 Cayenne GTS rotors and pads pkg

Racer
I installed the Power Stop Z23 setup http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A5870A0A0.aspx on the front of my GTS. I like the look of the drilled and slotted rotors, and braking is superb. From 60, I can easily lock them up (activating ABS) on a dry road. Dust is about average. I have had them on about 8 months, and have had zero concerns.
The only thing to take note of, and this applies to softer pads like the Ferrodo as well, is that when cold, they don't work as well. Once driven a bit, they reach temp and all is good.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The OEM brake sensors don't fit the brake pads, I contacted Matt to see if there is a special set I should be getting. Just a heads up everyone, before you order your sensors. I am not too concerned as I hey-wired mine to get rid of the (!) light on the dashboard.
I had no issue fitting the sensors in the front before, not sure what is going on with the rear set. I will post an update when I hear from Matt. The size of the rear pads is correct, identical to the previous set, no issue there,

We can pair these with the DBA 4000 T3 rotors and fresh fluid as well if you need/want to fully upgrade your brakes! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Anybody else ds2500 pads squeal like crazy at low speeds? It started doing this after only 2k miles in but it’s pretty bad now, this only happens at slow speeds <20 mph (regardless if cold or warmed up), but it’s damn annoying in stop and go traffic? Probably about 4-5k miles on them now any tips or tricks? I’ve tried rebedding them but that does nothing.
as far as I can tell there is plenty of pad life left, so would hate to throw these away and put on new pads and rotors again.

Try bedding them again - sometimes a second round clears them up. Make sure you let it cool overnight after bedding them.

Rossi, where did you source your DS2500?
I had a set all round and have RB 2pc rotors in the front and the front pads didn’t fit...they were basically “always braking” if that makes sense. I went back to Giro disc S/S pads for the front (still DS2500 for the rear) and they fit perfect with the same performance (love Ferodo with my other cars as a street pad).

- the rear pads don’t fit the 957 brake wear sensors, I think these pads fit 911 ones. I just modified my sensors and called it a day, as mentioned in posts above.
