Front Brakes - How Long Did They Last?

How long have your front brakes (discs & pads) lasted?

My 991S has about 28,000 miles on it any they need replaced.

How much will new disc and pads cost?

DJSArcade is infamous around these parts

This is one of those repairs that is EXPONENTIALLY more from a dealer.

Get the pads (and if needed, rotors) from Suncoast and have a trusted Porsche-safe indie shop install them.

It really depends on how you drive and track the car.
Brakes pads and discs on the most cars are extremely easy to replace.
And indy can do this for you..
