Rotors and pads for a 997 C2S 2005


Recommended Posts

Hi

I need your help choosing what to buy.

I have a 997 C2S -05 that the rotors and pads should be replaced on.

Should you invest your money in original or go for an aftermarket solution e.g. Zimmerman or a other brand? Brembo is fine but very expensive

I want drilled ones but should I even go for slotted?

Are there any brand that have coating btw that prevent the discs to rust?

Original is 330mm front! Is there any reason to go up in size?

Hope for help from you knowledgeable Porsche friends

I always use Sebro disks and Textar pads, which I believe are as close as you can get to original parts without having Porsche written on the box. There are cheaper and more expensive disks & pads around, but this combo works well for me. They rust at the same rate as originals too!

If the car isn't a daily driver, the most significant thing you can do to reduce corrosion is to take the car for a drive immediately after washing, to "brake the disks dry".

Thanks for your input phillipj

This i can read at Zimmermann home page and i have friends who have used the Coat Z rotors and are super happy

"Since 2008 Zimmermann is offering almost 400 Standard and almost 400 Sports Brake Discs in a coated version named "Coat Z – anti corrision"."

So i give it a chance

The brakes on 997-1 are the same as the 996 series so check those DIY articles.

Or use your leaf blower, and blow out the water from the cross drilled rotors, and dry the entire wheel.
